Alexandria Yandt on Outlining, Book Coaching, and Editing with Kindness

Creative, Actually Season 1, Episode 5

Writer, editor, and Fictionary-certified Story Coach Editor Alexandria Yandt joins Elizabeth on Creative, Actually to discuss how she balances writing books and teaching outlining courses while homeschooling six kids.

Alexandria started to write fiction during COVID for escapism and anxiety relief, and shares how she evolved from discovery writing to creating story with structure via Fictionary.

She also shares about her journey to her upcoming releases: a closed romance speculative trilogy currently in editing and a historical romance planned to be released in January 2027.

About Alexandria Yandt

Stories are journeys, and I love helping writers shape theirs into something unforgettable.

My favorite genres to edit include romance (or any story with a romantic subplot), young adult, science fiction, and fantasy.

Above all, as a Fictionary Certified StoryCoach Editor, I believe in kindness in editing. Writing a book is an act of courage, and my goal is to help writers feel excited and empowered.

Using the 38 story elements, I provide actionable feedback that strengthens plots, deepens character arcs, and enhances setting. Lets make your unique story shine!
