Tell me what we are working on:

(include word count, genre, and a summary if you can)

Developmental editing focuses on the big picture — structure, story, voice, pacing, argument, and character development. It’s about shaping the heart of your work and strengthening its foundation. Copyediting and proofreading, on the other hand, come later in the process and focus on sentence-level clarity, grammar, punctuation, and typos. I do not offer copy editing or proof reading but can point you in the right direction when its time.
Yes! Pay in full or payment plans are available.
$100 secures your spot. Then we can split the remainder into two or three payments depending on the length of time we’re working together.
Yes, absolutely. I love working with emerging writers, especially those seeking clarity and confidence in their voice and vision. I work with both indie and traditionally publishing authors, across fiction and nonfiction. Whether you’re writing your first draft or preparing your final pass before submission, I’ll meet you where you are.
I am not a good fit for children’s books, AI-generated writing, and self-help or prescriptive nonfiction.
If you’re unsure whether your work falls into these categories, feel free to reach out.
