Let’s get that novel moving
Building a world, filling it with characters, and bringing it to life with your words is a mad and magical adventure. Like all good quests, however, it’s got some low points. Whether you’re struggling to find the time to write, not sure what to do next with a finished draft, or in need of an in-depth critique, I can help.
Book
Coaching
ongoing support
Let’s get that draft done! We’ll schedule one-hour video calls at regular intervals that work with your goals and schedules to talk about The Work. This will be tailored to what you need: Check-ins, brainstorms, someone to ask questions, a cheerleader, a critiquer, a sounding board. We’ll work together to determine what’s important for keeping you on track with your writing goals.
First 10k
A jumpstart
Sometimes you don’t need the whole manuscript edited. Sometimes just getting the first 10k into shape can ripple through the rest of the work. For this jumpstart, I will read and thoroughly mark up the first 10k or your novel. I’ll write up a 3 - 5 page summary and we’ll talk about it over a video call. We’ll focus on the set up, your goals, and how the critique effects the rest of your book. From there, you may decide to have me read the whole book - or continue on your own.
Manuscript Feedback
critique time
Ah, the draft is already done, you say? Wooo! Well done! Time to get it fit and trim and shiny! I will read your manuscript and provide feedback in the form of a 5 - 10 page summary. This will cover your strengths and weaknesses in the draft and focus on plot, character, setting, and voice. We’ll work together to make sure it’s tailored to include any areas of concern you may have. Once it’s delivered, we’ll go over it together in an hour long video call.
Developmental Edit
intensive markup
Looking for more intensive editing? I can do that! I will read and mark up your manuscript. You’ll get the marked up manuscript and a 5 - 10 summary. The summary will cover your strengths and weaknesses in the draft and focus on plot, character, setting, and voice. We’ll work together to make sure it’s tailored to include any areas of concern you may have.
