The Tolkien

for the author.

Though storytelling contains consistent themes common to all of human culture, it is not a standardized art; there are endless waves of nuance and subjectivity. Each author’s life, opinions, and experiences are imputed into the stories they weave. This makes your book, in many ways, an extension of yourself and a gift to the world. I see the enormous value in that, and I want to help you package and deliver that gift - with all the care it deserves. Brother Wind Writing offers clear and consistent communication, and this guarantee to every author:

I promise to treat all of my clients (and their work) with respect; committing to personal excellence, professionalism and editorial expertise from the beginning of your project, until the end.

Engaging.

Books take many forms. You might be writing the next great American novel, a collection of creative sketches, or even a poetry chapbook. For each, the tone and grammar must work cohesively to attract the eye of the reader.

A strong and competent editor seeks to draw the reader away from a critical mindset, inviting them into the realm of belief. This is crucial. If the reader does not believe your story, then the reader will not remember your story.

Brother Wind Writing recognizes the power of storytelling. It is my goal to personally walk with each author, supporting them as they craft the book that they dream of writing.

Professional.

Perhaps you’ve created a self-help book or technical guide. Your potential customers should recognize your name as a source of excellence in your field. The Tolkien package can ensure that every element of your manuscript is logical and visually inviting. Your vision is within reach!

“A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving.”

[J.R.R. Tolkien, in a letter to his son, Christopher, on January 30, 1945]
