Services Offered

Developmental Editing: A comprehensive big-picture edit that includes focused editorial notes and examples delivered in a detailed long-form letter (8-12 pages) that examines all major elements of crafting a novel.

Editorial Assessment: The bird’s-eye view. Don't want to commit to a full developmental edit? An editorial assessment might be the fit for you. You'll receive broad-strokes insight on your manuscript so you know what’s working and what’s not in a succinct letter (4-8 pages).

Line Editing: We dig into your manuscript and hone in on word choice, readability, inconsistencies, cadence, tone, style, and use of language on a sentence-by-sentence level. These typicall include copyedits and proofreads.

Book Coaching: We'll work from concept to a complete manuscript in weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions. Coaching typically begins with a brainstorming session. Then we discuss what support you'd like, whether outlining, writing the draft, chapter by chapter critiques, or otherwise. Book an initial coaching session by clicking here (email me once you've booked).

Query Letter Critiques: Leveraging my experience as a published author, I'll revise your query letter, sharpening it to get agents interested in the novel you’ve worked so hard to perfect all these months/years/decades. You can book your critique by clicking here (email me once you've booked).
