Writing Coaching

You’re not a bad writer. You just need a great coach.

Dull writing is like a dull knife: borderline useless, and potentially dangerous. Distractions dull the edge. Doubts blunt the blade.

Brilliant writing is a samurai sword. A knight’s lance. A surgeon’s scalpel. Its purpose is clear. Its strokes are clean, concise, and pointed.

Most people don’t realize they have a brilliant writer inside of them — waving around a dull knife.

Solomon wrote, “as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Writing coaching sharpens the blade — and the person.

  • “My book on biblical eldership was improved significantly by Good Comma’s team of editors. They cared for each word of my manuscript as though it were their own, demonstrated a high view of Scripture, and worked diligently for God’s glory. I recommend using Good Comma Editing.”

    — Alexander Strauch, author, Biblical Eldership (updated and completely revised, 2024)

  • “Good Comma enabled me to get my message out from my church and into the world. Working with their editors was easy. They quickly grasped the flow of my argument, and their input made it not only much stronger but also much more persuasive. The most frequent feedback I’ve gotten from my book has been that people are surprised at how clear it was. Well, that is owing directly to Michael and the team at Good Comma.”

    — Jesse Johnson, Lead Teaching Pastor and Author

    City of Man, Kingdom of God: Why Christians Respect, Obey, and Resist Government (2022)

  • “When it was time to perform a final edit on my book Sharing the Burden: The Samaritan Ministries Story, I turned naturally to Good Comma Editing. At Samaritan, we knew of GCE’s devotion to detail and high standards and wanted that for the book. GCE delivered the goods promptly. I would turn to no other service for my editing needs.”

    — Michael Miller, editor, Samaritan Ministries International, and author of Sharing the Burden: The Samaritan Ministries Story (2020)

  • “Good Comma Editing has been a wonderful, highly skilled, and professional partner in our efforts, providing our team with much-needed research and editorial services. The Heartland Institute highly recommends GCE and its staff of editors and researchers, to whom we have previously entrusted important public policy projects that our donors and supporters care deeply about. When we need editorial help, we turn to Good Comma Editing first, and we wouldn’t think twice about recommending the GCE team to anyone in need of professional editorial services in the future.”

    — Justin Haskins, Senior Fellow at The Heartland Institute and author of several books, including Stopping Socialism: The Moral Case Against Marx’s Radical Dream (2019).

  • “As a first-time author, one of the greatest concerns is the quality of the content. A dream poorly executed will quickly derail an author's expectations, however low or high these expectations may be. When GCE stepped into the conversation, this grave concern turned into growing confidence. GCE’s best-in-class team lays to rest any concern surrounding grammar, vocabulary, and logic through their thorough editing process. Bellwether Blues has been an outstanding success largely because the contents of the book allow the reader to engage the big ideas without the noise of poor logic or faulty grammar. GCE deserves tremendous credit for making that possible.”

    — Jonathan Jakubowski, Author

    Bellwether Blues: A Conservative Awakening in the Millennial Soul (2020) and board chairman of the Forge Leadership Network
