Rebecca

Zornow

Speculative Fiction Book Coach

I am very happy I trusted my story to Rebecca at Conquer Books. Her attention to detail and keen sense of what makes a story work helped me bring my manuscript from good to great.

Rebecca is an insightful reader with a keen eye for detail. Her story development guidance was immensely helpful. She's fast and precise and I recommend her completely.

I highly recommend Rebecca Zornow as a manuscript editor. She provided honest and comprehensive feedback. She commented on the overall tone and direction, then dove into the material line by line. Her suggestions made my book, “Flex the Freelance: An Unconventional Guide to Quit Your Day Job,” more potent. I will use her services for my next book.

I was lost on how to take the next step with my draft. Rebecca's feedback has given me a new lease on my book, and helped bring excitement to my writing process.

Branding Speed wouldn’t exist in its current form without the help of Rebecca Zornow from Conquer Books. Her insight and experience has been invaluable—from the writing process to marketing to publication. She’s a phenomenal book coach!

Rebecca provided astute and effective guidance and advice. She must have made an accurate assessment of my needs because I received just the tools I need to take next steps and the confidence to do so.

Not knowing what to fully expect when I started, I felt like I was being coached (one-on-one) by a college professor in a life-long writing course.

Rebecca's Bio

As a book coach, I help writers dig in to uncover the bloody, beating heart of their manuscript. I choose clients with stories I’m passionate about and work hard to make their work shine. I’m particularly motivated to help writers learn the ins and outs of the profession as we edit their work together. As a former magazine editor-in-chief, I’ve built a keen ear for voice and constantly have the reader in mind.

I’m a science fiction novelist myself so I understand the writer perspective. Writing has long been a daily part of my life but it wasn’t until Nicole encouraged me that I pursued it professionally and to great enjoyment. Nicole continues to be my #1 book coach. It’s Over or It’s Eden is my debut novel and it was a bestseller on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. My second novel, Dangerous to Heal, is part one of a space opera duology.

I’m also a founding member of Conquer Con, Appleton, WI’s science fiction and fantasy convention.
