Editorial Assessment

Perfect for writers who want a clear, big-picture evaluation of their manuscript without the line-by-line detail. I’ll read through your entire manuscript and provide a detailed letter highlighting the strengths, areas for improvement, and an overview of your characters, plot, and pacing. This will give you the guidance to take your revisions to the next level. Starting at $2,000.

Author Coaching

Writing can be a long journey, but you don’t have to go it alone. I’ll offer regular support and guidance throughout your writing process. From setting goals to giving feedback on chapters as you write, we’ll work together to ensure you stay on track and motivated. Coaching is customized to your needs, whether you’re outlining your first book or revising your final draft. You'll be receiving developmental edits for each session, and the amount of words you want to do month-to-month is completely tailorable to you. Starting at $400.

Free Consultation Call

Not sure where to begin? A half-hour consultation is a great starting point. We’ll discuss your project, assess what kind of help you need, and create a clear roadmap for your next steps. I’ll review a sample of your work of up to 5,000 words in advance to give you actionable feedback during our session. Free service.

Developmental Edit

For writers ready to dig deep. This is my most comprehensive service, focusing on big-picture elements like structure, character development, pacing, voice, and overall narrative flow. You’ll receive in-depth feedback throughout your manuscript, helping you refine your story to its fullest potential. It’s a detailed roadmap for turning your draft into a truly exceptional book. Starting at $3,000.

Nonfiction Proposal Writing

Nonfiction proposals are a unique challenge, but with my experience, I’ll help you craft a proposal that will capture the attention of agents and publishers. I have a record of creating NYT Bestselling Nonfiction book proposals that have garnered several 7-figure advances. From outlining your concept to polishing the final draft, we’ll make sure every section of your proposal reflects your expertise and vision.

Starting at $3,500.

Something New!
