The Writer’s Room with L.B. Gaines

Edit & Elevate by L.B. Gaines
Storycraft, structure, and strategy for authors ready to level up.

So you’ve written the book—or maybe you’re just getting started. Either way, you want your words to shine. That’s where I come in.

As a romance author, English professor, professional grant writer, and self-publishing strategist, I help indie authors polish their prose, strengthen their structure, and build stories that stick. Whether you're refining your final draft or untangling a messy middle, I offer services designed to meet you exactly where you are.

From proofreading and copy editing to deep developmental feedback and full-service coaching, Edit & Elevate was created to help emerging and established authors bring their stories to life with clarity, confidence, and care.
