Services

  • Editorial Assessment

    I read the manuscript and provide a letter detailing my thoughts about larger story-level concerns, including things like character development, pacing, and worldbuilding. The length of the letter is dependent on the word count of the manuscript. I also offer a call after sending you the editorial letter so you can ask any questions you may have about my feedback.

  • Developmental Edit

    I provide detailed comments and recommended changes within the manuscript via tracked changes to help give you a sense of which pieces of your manuscript are working well and what might be worth adjusting. I primarily focus on larger story-level concerns, including things like character development, pacing, and worldbuilding. I also provide a short letter summarizing my biggest recommendations at this stage. Finally, I offer a call following the developmental edit so you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have at this point in the process.

  • Query Package Review

    I share detailed comments and recommended changes via tracked changes to give you a sense of which pieces of your query package are working well and what might be worth adjusting. The specific materials I review is up to you! I commonly receive requests to review query letters, the opening pages of manuscripts, and synopses; however, I am open to discussing the specifics of what you would find most helpful.

  • Outline Review

    I share detailed comments and recommended changes via tracked changes to give you a sense of which pieces of your outline are working well and what might be worth adjusting. I remark on any spots I worry might result in pacing issues or cause issues when the time comes to position and market your project.

  • Book Coaching

    Are you in the process of writing or plotting a book and in need of some help? Would you like to brainstorm ideas with someone? Are you interested in having an editor read your draft as you’re writing to ensure you’re on the right track? If so, book coaching might be a great fit for you. I tailor each book coaching program to fit the author’s needs, whether the writer is looking for just a couple of calls or a year-long collaboration with editing and discussions each month.
