DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING & CRITIQUING

Does the story say what you meant it to say? Does the plot make sense to readers who aren’t inside your head? I offer manuscript assessments, developmental editing, and line editing tailored to your genre, goals, and budget. My goal is to help your story stand out—for the right reasons.

Whether you're polishing for submission, self-publishing, or still trying to figure out what’s working and what’s not, I’ll bring clarity, structure, and insight to every page.

MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT

You’ve finished your manuscript! Congratulations!

Perhaps this is your first manuscript, or maybe you have never edited your own work before and don’t know where to start.

If any of the above applies to you, then you may be looking for a professional manuscript assessment.

A manuscript assessment can be a budget-friendly alternative to a developmental edit, or it can be paired with a developmental edit for a full in-depth manuscript overhaul.

BOOK COACHING

Writing a book is hard. Keeping momentum is harder. If you're stuck in the middle, constantly rewriting Chapter One, or simply need accountability and feedback, book coaching might be the answer.

I offer flexible coaching tailored to your needs—weekly calls, check-ins, feedback on pages, or monthly mentorship to keep you going and growing.
