EDITORIAL SERVICES
Experienced. Collaborative. Insightful.
Experienced: I am the multi-published author of adult and young adult novels and former writing instructor for Portland Community College’s Community Education program where I taught plot, structure, and creativity to new writers, experienced writers and everyone in between. The sum of those experiences is offered to you in the form of thoughtful, enriching and positive feedback on your manuscript.
Collaborative: As a writer, I have collaborated with some of the best editors and agents in the business. The foundational training I received on mutual respect, creativity, and commitment to story is at the heart of how I work with authors. The stories you send me are the culmination of your ideas, experiences, voice and creativity, and I am here to collaborate with you to make that story the very best it can be—for you and your future readers.
Insightful: With over twenty years in the publishing business, I can intuitively spot issues with structure, characterization, pacing, and much more. My comments are designed to support, uplift, and nurture your own innate writing talent.
Editing Services
Proposals
Includes line-by-line copy and developmental editing, as well as notes on how to truly sell your work. A standard proposal consists of a query letter and synopsis, as well as sample chapters, and I can help you sharpen all three. Starting at $350.00 for 60 double spaced pages.
Developmental Editing
As a developmental editor, I can help you mold your book or proposal into the very best version of itself. My developmental editing services includes a line-by-line look at structure, plot, pacing, and readability, as well as a comprehensive editorial letter outlining tips and suggestions. Starting at $1000.00 per 50,000 words.
Coaching Services
As a baby writer, I depended on the kindness of others to teach, mentor, and critique my work. Many times, I was frustrated by my own lack of knowledge about creativity, crafting a novel, and the publishing business. Now, with 20 years of experience under my belt, I often think, if only I knew then what I know now… As a coach, I can offer short critiques, personal Zoom sessions, and teaching tailored to fit your needs.
Coaching Packages
So by now you know that I am Experienced, Collaborative, Insightful and absolutely committed to story. How about you? Are you ready to commit to and invest in your craft?
Accountability Acolyte Package: This four-week package is designed to motivate and inspire you to overcome your own blocks and develop a regular writing practice. This package includes you sending me ten pages to read each week followed by a 30 minute Zoom call to discuss them. Yes, that means you must write ten pages a week. See, accountability! During these calls, we will discuss the pacing, structure, tension, conflict, etc., of your pages, and your writing will benefit from my expertise and encouragement. The Acolyte package is $400.00 for the full four weeks. (Forty read pages and two hours total Zoom calls.) (This will include a verbal assessment of the pages only.)
