Project Write Now does not offer editorial services directly. What we do offer is years of experience working alongside some of the most gifted editors and story consultants in the business.
The three editors below are people we know, trust, and recommend without reservation. Each of them has worked closely with the PWN community—and each brings something distinct to the table. If you’re looking for editorial support, you’re in good hands with any of them.

Friends & Features · PWN’s Debut Review
Court Harler is a queer freelance writer, editor, and educator based in the American South.

Her award-winning, multigenre work has been published around the world.
At PWN, Court runs Friends & Features—our beloved reading series—and helms PWN’s Debut Review, where emerging writers get the kind of close, generous editorial attention that can change the trajectory of a book.

Whether she’s urging a novelist to look deeper into their scenes or helping a memoirist shape marketable stories, Court brings literary sensibility and professional range to every project.

Lizzie Finn
book inc Book Revision Lab · Story Consultant
A New Jersey native, Lizzie Finn is a writer, director, and producer who launched her career in the East Coast independent film scene. She has filled crew roles on films produced by Kevin Smith’s View Askew Productions and was hired by Tapestry TV as a segment writer on Discovery’s Emmy-winning series Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye. She is currently Development Director for Last Stop Productions.
As a story consultant, Lizzie uses the Gateless Writing methodology—rooted in neuroscience—to nurture each writer’s intuitive gifts and help them access a state of flow. Her approach builds writers up rather than tearing the writing down, which means less block, less resistance, and more of the work that only you can make.
Lizzie serves as our story consultant for the book inc Book Revision Lab, bringing her distinctive screen-to-page sensibility to long-form prose revision. Visit Lizzie Finn Writes.
