Customized for each writer and includes:

• 30 minute introductory Zoom

• Full manuscript read and deep-dive analysis

• 2-week turnaround (usually)

• 5-8 page editorial letter (usually longer) that covers:

  • Strengths to leverage for revision (and feel good about!)

  • Challenges to address

    • Focus on structure; POV; opening and ending; character arcs; narrative arc; plot points and story beats; power and momentum … and more

  • Tactics for revision

• One-hour post-editorial letter Zoom

New! So many of you have returned with revisions. Amazing! I’m adding:

• Second pass read and review plus one-hour Zoom to uncover persistent challenges, polish, and even throw in a little bit of line-editing!

A 60-day commitment, customized to meet you where you are in your writing life. 

Our goals are: 

• setting up your writing practice/project management/accountability

• establishing structure, POV, timeline, plot, characters

• scene work to drive storytelling

• chapter plan

• moving forward solo 

• concept, pitch, synopsis 

Here's what you can expect from me:

• A one-hour Zoom every week or two weeks (depending on your timing and productivity and project management and Life)

• An in-depth debrief and craft note after each meeting summarizing our discussion; giving assignments addressing the basics, bulleted above; recommendations for craft essays and books that address your specific concerns (I’ve been told these session notes are gold and valuable for future work too)

• Editorial notes on any new writing

• Unlimited email availability 

I don’t include fees for service on this page because the range of experience, length of manuscript, and customization for each writer defies a one-price-fits-all approach. I encourage you to shop around and understand the market for editorial services.

As former clients will tell you, I am committed to transparency and will price each job fairly and squarely, with your full understanding before I read your opening sentence.
