Editing that meets you where you are. Perhaps you just need a little direction, or maybe you’re ready for a deep dive or a final polish before publishing. Wherever you are in your process, I’ll meet you there. My goal is to help you make your story the strongest version of itself—while keeping your voice at the center. Below, you’ll find the three ways we can work together:
Manuscript Consultation
Big-picture feedback. A high-level overview of your draft with clear direction for your next steps. Ideal if you’re not ready (or don’t need) a full developmental edit but want guidance on where to strengthen your story. Includes a 15-minute intro call and an editorial letter with big-picture feedback on plot, characters, pacing, and key areas for improvement.
Developmental Editing
Deep dive into the story. An in-depth edit focused on the heart of your story—character arcs, plot structure, pacing, style, and world-building. You’ll receive detailed feedback plus specific suggestions for rewriting, expanding, or trimming content. Includes a 15-minute intro call, an editorial letter with major feedback points, in-manuscript comments and suggestions, and a 1-hour video call to discuss questions and next steps.
Copy Editing
Polish and precision. A detailed review of grammar, punctuation, consistency, and style to make sure your manuscript is polished and professional. Includes an edited manuscript with corrections and suggestions.
Every project is unique, and exact pricing depends on word count, scope, and timeline. I’ll provide a custom quote after our introductory call, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
