“I was blown away by the phenomenal insights she provided...”
Simone lives in North Carolina with her husband and dog. When she isn’t working on a novel, she’s thinking about what to write next. In 2013, she began the self-publishing journey and released sixteen YA Sci-fi Dystopian and Fantasy novels under the pen name Simone Pond. Her books have sold over 17,000 copies with over 80,000 free downloads worldwide. Recently, she’s switched gears to write Contemporary YA stories that focus on overcoming difficulties with hope and a sense of humor.

I discovered Heather by reading Bad Romance, which is now one of my favorite novels to date. When I found out she was teaching a YA writing class I jumped at the opportunity. During this class, I learned about her coaching services, which brought enormous relief. I’d been looking for a writing coach for a while, but I struggled to find one with solid experience in the YA genre. I hired Heather to do a manuscript critique of my current project.
I was blown away by the phenomenal insights she provided in her editorial note. She absolutely gets the big-picture perspective as well as the nitty gritty. She offered excellent advice, guidance and suggestions on how to improve the overall story message, the structure and most importantly, my main character.
Additionally, the level of detail she provided throughout the manuscript was incredibly helpful. Each comment got me to dig deeper and find better solutions.
Heather’s careful dissection of my novel gave me room to make several smart revisions and recreate a more likeable and engaging main character with a great story to share.
Heather helped me to move beyond the first and very rough draft into the next one and beyond. I trust her opinions, guidance and honesty.
