Experience
Chief Executive Officer
Sep 2019 — Present · Princeton, IL, US
Mystical Night Media, LLC is a combination of paranormal research and book editing. Tracie Hicks is a paranormal researcher since 2002. The author of the Paranormal Investigation Case Book also ran the Christian County Ghost Hunters Society in Illinois. She moved to Bureau County, Illinois in 2014. You can check out the website at: https://mysticalnightmedia.com/Tracie\'s rates are geared toward those low-income authors. The internet has become a way of life for many people. It has given hope to those who might not have discovered their talents, and enjoy writing. Publishing a book is hard enough with finding an agent and a publishing company, let alone the writing itself. Now, thanks to places like Amazon and Smashwords, people have a chance to self-publish their books. Thus, people need to relearn the tools they need to write to bring their authentic voices to the surface. I am commented on helping those people to improve their writing to help strengthen their voices.Tracie\'s’ approach to coaching is with constructive feedback and the use of open-ended questions. Constructive feedback is a way to help the writers to think and improve their performance and help set their goals and strategies. By using open-ended questions, it forces the writers to dig deep into the plot and discover their characters have more to say and do. She will also work one-on-one with the writers. All feedback is between the one writer and her. She will not share the feedback with the other writers. This builds trust between the writer and the editor.Not only will Tracie proofread the writer’s work, but she will line-edit, structural edit, and copy-edit their work. She will do more than look over their work once. She will work side-by-side until the writer feels their work is ready.Website: https://mysticalnight.media/
