My Services

As a professional freelance editor and educator, I’ve helped hundreds of writers express their thoughts clearly and with rhythm, beauty, and power. I edit as a coach who wants to empower authors to develop their craft.

When I work with clients to perfect their manuscripts, I start by reading through their work as a whole to get a sense of its purpose and spirit. Then I work with the client to take the manuscript through a series of iterations until the author’s words ring clear and true.

If you’re looking for an editor to invest the time and effort into helping you craft your fiction or nonfiction manuscript, send me a message!

My specific services and rates are below. Click the “Learn More” button for additional details about each service.

Developmental Editing

Get an editor to coach you through all the stages of the revision process. We work on structure, style, and plot/character development together. I assess your manuscript using story trackers, compile a short report giving you clear direction for the next steps, and then we set up consultations to work you through the revision process. Includes two rounds of editing.
