Lewis Jorstad

Lewis Jorstad is the editor and book coach behind The Novel Smithy, where he helps debut writers turn their messy drafts into finished novels they’re proud to publish.

With over eight years of experience, Lewis has edited 250+ manuscripts, written seven bestselling writing guides, and supported over 2,000 writers around the world. These days, he's on a mission to help writers embrace their brain’s intuitive way of telling stories, while also creating page-turning novels readers can’t put down.

When he’s not coaching writers, you’ll find him tending to his ever-growing houseplant collection, slowly reading through his (enormous) TBR list, and often indulging his insatiable sweet tooth.
