Author Coaching
$80 per hour
These one-on-one sessions will address concerns with your writing practice and craft, support you through writers block, and provide guidance for how to best support your story’s growth. For each hour booked, you may submit up to one thousand words of manuscript or prewriting (like character interviews, worldbuilding, or outline) for me to review prior to our session. You’ll get actionable feedback, exercises to develop your skills, and the encouragement that you need to finish that novel!

Manuscript Critique
$300 per 20k words
You’ve finished your manuscript. Congratulations! A manuscript evaluation or critique will assess whether or not your story is working. This involves a thorough evaluation of plot, character, relationships, and world-building. The detailed report will hold a mirror to your manuscript, showing you what readers see, and offering feedback and suggestions for improving overall story flow.

Developmental Editing
Request a free sample edit for a quote
Like a manuscript evaluation, a developmental edit dives into big-picture issues in the manuscript, only deeper. This feedback comes in the form of both a detailed report (at least ten pages long) and in-manuscript comment bubbles focusing on specific moments within the manuscript that could hit harder. Each developmental edit comes with an hour-long one-on-one real-time consultation to discuss any questions you have about observations and suggestions in the developmental report. Contact me to schedule your free 2,000-word sample edit today!

Line Editing and Copyediting
Request a free sample edit for a quote
Line editing will clean up sentence and paragraph level flow and transitions in the manuscript, while copyediting tackles the technical issues of grammar, spelling, and punctuation, conforming to your style guide of choice. Pricing varies based on word count and whether the manuscript needs a light, medium, or heavy-handed edit. Contact me today to schedule your free 2,000-word sample edit and consultation.

Proofreading
$13 per 1,000 words
After a manuscript has been copyedited, laid out for the page, and/or formatted for e-books, it’s ready for one final set of eyes before it goes to print! This is an exciting time, and it’s crucial for catching those errors that have slipped through previous levels of editing. Contact me now to schedule your proofread so we can get that book to publication!
