Strategy Session
The goal of this service plan is to help you take stock of your idea and whittle it down into a thesis/pitch statement. Through this exercise, I will also help you get clear on your publishing goals and identify several next steps to help you pursue these goals.

Monthly Book Coaching
The goal of this service plan is to help you set and follow through on strategic writing goals that will prepare you to achieve your publishing goal. Here, I will serve as an accountability partner, providing you with 1:1 support and developmental editing as you work to complete your manuscript.

Accelerated writing plans with higher page limits can be negotiated.
Copy Editing
I reserve a limited amount of time each quarter to take on copy editing projects. For writers pursuing traditional publishing, I provide editing services by agent referral only.

For writers seeking to self publish, we must first complete a consultation to determine whether your manuscript is ready for late-stage editing.

I serve writers in a way that makes sense to them.
Through my experience as an editor of literary and scholarly journals, I help memoir and nonfiction authors build their best draft from the ground up. Through my experience as a research assistant, I set them up for success.
A good editor is tough where it matters and compassionate where it counts. I chose this career because I deeply enjoy the human connection made possible by books. When I look at a bookshelf, I see the people who committed their time and passion to their stories. I want to do my part to help you get your work on that shelf!
