STORY ALCHEMY EDITING
Editing is a process that should cultivate your confidence and honor your path as a storyteller.
A list of recommended resources on the craft of writing, editing, and publishing your stories.
At Story Alchemy, I focus on empowering your creativity, not forcing your work into rigid formulas. Your story doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
When it comes to the editing process, special care and respect is taken to ensure it isn’t centered on forcing stories into rigid formulas or fixing “bad storytelling”. I don’t believe in that kind of approach. Instead, our collaboration is about progress towards your publication dreams and ensuring your stories resonate emotionally with readers.
Hey, I'm Ari. Book lover, humble butler to two cats, and the biggest fan of your story! Well, second only to you.
At Story Alchemy, I help writers transform rough drafts into resonant, reader-ready books without losing the magic that made you write it in the first place. Magic that undoubtedly sets you and your story apart in this world.
Chances are, you’ve been holding this story close for a while. Maybe you’re not sure it’s ready yet. Maybe you’re not sure if you’re ready yet. That’s okay. Whether it’s your first story (or you fifth), I’m here to help you take the next step, with clarity, care, and edits that honor your voice.
With a holistic, intuitive approach to editing rooted in craft, reader psychology, and emotional clarity, I’ll help you strengthen your story without compromising what makes it yours. I’m here to ask the right questions, offer honest insights, and help you shape a story you’re proud to send out into the world.
Stories I've helped to shape:
Over time, I’ve had the privilege of working with 100+ clients—from indie authors and small presses to creative entrepreneurs and brands of all kinds. This includes freelance gigs, internships, salaried roles, and ongoing collaborations. Some projects I can’t show you because of NDAs, but what you see here is a snapshot of the stories I’ve helped shaped, whether that’s immersive fiction or thoughtful brand messaging crafted to connect.
