INTUITIVE EDITING

 “TALK TO CHELSEA ONCE AND IT’S OBVIOUS SHE HAS A GIFT FOR CHARACTER AND STORYTELLING. I FEEL EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE BENEFITED FROM HER INSIGHT, WHICH TOOK MY MANUSCRIPT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GOT IT READY FOR QUERYING. IT IS NO EXAGGERATION TO SAY THIS WAS A TRANSFORMATIVE PARTNERSHIP–MY MANUSCRIPT SIMPLY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE SAME DEPTH WITHOUT HER. -TAYLOR HAHN, AUTHOR OF THE NOVELS, “THE LIFESTYLE” and “A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS”

I love working with writers in all stages of the writing process from developmental and deep manuscript edits for novels or memoirs, to copyedits for essays and short stories. Utilizing my innate sense of plot, textured character development, and my ear for rhythm and beauty in language, I am a vision holder for your project. With over ten years of professional teaching and editing experience, I bring tactile strategies and clear ideas for how to bring your story to the next level. I also see all projects holistically. I believe as writers, the health of our manuscripts has a lot to do with the health of our self-worth and belief in our projects. I can partner with you to find the passion for yours, as well as offer real life tips and support for how to give yourself the gift of time for your art and remove creative blocks to make the art your soul desires.

“Chelsea has a strong instinct for the heart and soul of a work of fiction. She provided me with insightful and powerful ideas to strengthen and deepen my draft. It’s clear she is bringing years of hard-earned experience to the craft of fiction editing. Both wise and kind, Chelsea is highly recommended.” –Athena Waligore

“As a writer, it's important to find those rare souls who can provide qualitative feedback that is both supportive and moves the work forward. Chelsea Bieker is that rare writer|editor who can achieve this delicate balance. I'm immensely grateful to have had the chance to work with her and benefit from her insightful commentary.”

—Hannah Onstad
