Welcome, fellow wordsmiths! I’m Allana Walker, MFA—a professional book editor and creative consultant for The Way Back To Ourselves. If you’re looking for practical ways to polish your prose, I welcome you to take advantage of The Gentle Editor, a biweekly newsletter for those who want to elevate their writing:
Prose is only as powerful as it is lucid.
Our words should illuminate, not obscure.
When our writing becomes convoluted, our message sinks beneath the murky waters of our verbiage.
As the former senior editor of Calla Press Publishing LLC, I’ve worked with authors on a variety of writing projects, and I’ve repeatedly encountered the same literary mistakes.
Mistakes I want you to overcome.
Which is why I’m releasing a series of actionable writing lessons to teach you how to craft prose that is clear, concise, and compelling.
The result?
You’ll learn how to cultivate a more poignant, more nuanced narrative voice.
Let’s get started.
