Service Packages

Your story deserves to shine.

I approach each manuscript with the care and respect it deserves. My role is to see what’s already working and offer suggestions of how to improve, all while prioritizing your voice and vision. With years of experience and a tactful, collaborative approach, I provide the guidance you need to make your story shine without ever losing what makes it yours.

Developmental Edit

Developmental editing is a deep dive into the heart of your manuscript. We’ll start with a 5,000-word sample edit to determine the project rate (starting at $0.018/word). Once we begin, you’ll get:

  • An introductory call to make sure I fully understand your vision and goals.
  • A 15–25+ page PDF editorial letter with detailed feedback on:
    • Plot structure and pacing
    • Character development
    • Worldbuilding depth
    • Themes and subtext
    • Audience expectations
    • Dialogue and scene structure
    • General writing craft
    • Any specific concerns you want addressed
  • A 90-minute follow-up call to discuss the feedback and your next steps.
  • Email support throughout the process for questions or clarifications.

This service is ideal for authors ready for a comprehensive, collaborative approach to make their story the best it can be.


Manuscript Critique

A manuscript critique offers a high-level assessment that’s more detailed than a beta read, but less intensive than a full developmental edit. We’ll begin with a 3,000-word sample edit to determine the rate (starting at $0.012/word). Your critique will include

  • An introductory call to ensure I understand your vision and goals.
  • A 5–15 page PDF critique letter with observations on
    • Plot arc and structure
    • Character development
    • Audience expectations
    • General impressions
    • Any specific concerns you want addressed
  • My general impressions of the manuscript’s readiness for its next draft.

Perfect for authors who want targeted, professional feedback without committing to a full-scale edit.


Writing Coach (Beta)

Personalized support for your growth as a storyteller.

Writing coaching is an ongoing, flexible partnership focused on your specific goals. Together, we can work on anything from transforming an idea into a complete outline, to deepening character arcs, to adding richness and logic to your fantasy world.

  • Rate: $65/hour
  • Billable hours include
    • Written feedback on your materials
    • Live video calls to brainstorm, problem-solve, and plan next steps
