Betsy Warland
Betsy Warland is a manuscript consultant and the author of fourteen books, including Bloodroot, Lost Lagoon/lost in thought, Oscar of Between, and Breathing the Page.
Writers who have worked with Betsy have gone on to be included in the BC Book Prizes, the Griffin Prize, and the Governor General’s Award.
Writing Consultant
I’ve been a writing and manuscript consultant/editor for over 20 years. With me, you will recognize the strengths and weakness of your pieces of writing or manuscript (and what’s missing), as well as the most compelling focus and structure for your work.
