Work With Me
I work with a small number of writers at a time for every stage of the work, from early in the draft to submission. All engagements begin with a free 20-minute conversation.
Finish Your Draft
One-on-one book coaching for writers actively at work on a novel, memoir, or essay collection.
For writers who have a draft in progress, or a draft that isn't working, and need a sustained editorial partnership to get to the end. We meet regularly, I read your pages, and we work through the manuscript together: structure, voice, pacing, the hard questions your story is asking you to answer. Writing a novel is long work. It doesn't have to be solitary
Manuscript Assessment
A complete editorial read for writers who want to know exactly where their manuscript stands.
For writers with a complete or near-complete draft who want to know exactly where they stand. I read your full manuscript and deliver a detailed editorial letter covering structure, pacing, character, voice, and what needs to happen in revision. We follow up with a 60-minute call.
Developmental Editing
Hands-on structural editing for writers ready for deep engagement with their manuscript.
I work directly on your manuscript, margin notes throughout, structural interventions on the page, line-level engagement where the writing needs it. You receive a marked-up manuscript and an editorial letter. This is the most intensive service I offer.
Available for completed manuscripts only.
Submission Preparation
For writers who are ready to query.
I work with you on your query letter, synopsis, and opening pages — the full submission package. You'll leave knowing what agents are looking for and confident that your materials are ready.
Fees for one-on-one coaching typical range from $750 to $3,000 per month depending on the scope. Manuscript assessments begin at $1,500
