Stuck on a story idea? Not sure what comes next in your plot—or your publishing journey?

In this one-on-one session, you'll get personalized editorial guidance and industry insight from both an editor’s and agent’s perspective. Come with questions and, if you’d like, share up to 5,000 words of your manuscript in advance for targeted verbal feedback.

Perfect for authors seeking story development help or publishing advice.

Looking for honest, high-level feedback before diving into revisions?

You’ll receive a 10–15 page editorial letter that focuses on big-picture craft elements like story structure, character development, pacing, voice, tone, conflict and tension, and thematic clarity. I’ll suggest ways to strengthen weak spots, and include custom writing exercises to support your revision process.

Ideal for authors working on early drafts or those who want a professional perspective before going deeper into edits.

This is the most comprehensive structural edit I offer.

Using Track Changes and comments, I’ll provide detailed, specific feedback on key craft elements. This level of editing may involve reordering scenes, suggesting cuts or expansions, and offering an editorial letter targeting strategies for revision that align with your creative goals.

Whether you’re polishing an early draft or preparing to query or publish, developmental editing offers the hands-on support you need to take your manuscript to the next level.

A meticulous technical edit that polishes your manuscript for clarity and consistency.

I’ll go through your completed manuscript line by line, focusing on grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, repetition, sentence structure, and accuracy. You’ll also receive a custom style sheet that outlines editorial decisions, tracks spelling and formatting choices, and ensures consistency across your draft.

Perfect for authors ready to polish their manuscript before sending it into the world.

Authenticity reading helps ensure the representation of marginalized identities in your manuscript is as accurate and free from harmful stereotypes as possible.

Drawing on my lived experience and editorial expertise, I’ll read your manuscript with a focus on potential bias, stereotypes, cultural nuance, and identity-specific dynamics, leaving comments and providing a detailed assessment of how identity and lived experiences can be better portrayed in your story.

It’s ideal for authors who want to tell inclusive stories thoughtfully and responsibly.

Proofreading is the final polish your manuscript needs before publication—the last chance to catch lingering errors and ensure your text is ready for readers.

After your manuscript has been through copyediting, I’ll carefully review it for spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, and typesetting issues that may have been missed. This detail-focused pass is meant to catch small but important errors.

Proofreading is best suited for finalized manuscripts, especially for authors who are self-publishing and want to ensure their work is publication-ready.

Getting ready to query agents or editors? Drawing on my experience as a literary agent, I’ll evaluate your:

✔️ Query letter, with notes on hook, pitch, metadata, voice, tone, comps, and content

✔️ Synopsis, focusing on clarity, structure, pacing, and whether it effectively captures your book’s arc

✔️ First pages, assessing voice, tone, narrative momentum, and what will make an agent want to keep reading

Perfect for writers preparing to pitch their work and wanting a second set of eyes on their full submission package.

Every manuscript is different. Your editorial support should be too.

Whether you’re looking for a partial edit, a combination of services, or a custom approach tailored to your specific needs, I offer flexible editorial packages. And if you're interested in more than one full-service edit—such as a developmental edit followed by a copyedit, or a copyedit and submission package review—I’m happy to create a discounted bundle.

Custom edits are perfect for writers who want cohesive feedback and cost-effective support through multiple stages of revision and preparation.
