Hi! I’m Jessica Hatch. I teach creative writers to “think Type A” in order to draft, edit, and publish polished, award-winning, highly salable books.
When I was little, I’d gather my Happy Meal toys, which I had decided were my Barbie dolls’ kids, and play school. While kids I knew were creating more fantastical narratives, I felt at home being (a bit bossy!) in the classroom.
My love of learning and teaching has continued into my editing practice. I’ve attended writing workshops around the world and hosted the occasional course, including a bookstore lecture in Charlottesville, Virginia, and an in-person four-week master class on the publishing process.
I’ve wanted to create online courses on writing, editing, and publishing since day one of Hatch Editorial Services.
And this is the year I finally do it.
In 2020, let’s analyze and organize manuscript data to make ourselves stronger self-editors. Let’s research the market to craft books agents just can’t say no to. Let’s get into writing residencies with the power of our words and, in doing so, change our lives.
Here’s to learning together in 2020!
