about pages & platforms
PAGES & PLATFORMS HAPPENED BECAUSE PEOPLE WITH A PASSION FOR STORIES CAME TOGETHER…
Pages & Platforms is a powerful team that has worked with hundreds of writers. We can help you realize the full potential of your story and launch it into the world.
It started when writers Anne Hawley and Sue Campbell plunged headlong into the study of story structure. They formed an editing group and were soon joined by Rachelle Ramirez. Anne and Rachelle found Story Types so crucial to their own writing process that they both trained to become developmental editors.
Sue then took her content marketing and copywriting background and trained under Tim Grahl of BookLaunch.com to become a Certified Book Launch Coach.
