I calculate my rates based on word count, deadline, and the level of editorial work needed for the manuscript to reach the desired level. Please send me a message to inquire about an estimate.

Typically, four to six weeks.

No. While I pride myself on guiding my clients with up-to-date industry knowledge, whether or not a book is picked for publication is a subjective process that requires multiple people (agents, editors, publishers) to invest in your project.

Hiring an editor is one of the best investments you can make in your own work. Not only do professional editors approach your work from an informed and experienced standpoint, but they also focus exclusively on you, which is a rarity even for authors who frequent workshops and writing groups.

When you have a finished manuscript or proposal that you’re ready to query with or when you’re stuck and looking for a fresh perspective.

When you are feeling stuck in your writing practice and are unsure of how to reach the next step in your career.

I find that writers who have thought critically about their manuscript and have a list of areas where they are looking for feedback get the most out of editorial reviews. If you would like to have conversations about querying and publishing, it’s helpful to have an idea about where you think your book would succeed, what genre you are writing in, and what authors’ careers you admire.

I have a list of free resources for authors that I’m happy to share if requested. Equally, I send a monthly email with writing opportunities, industry advice, and curated links that contains accessible advice for all writers.
