Developmental Editing

Developmental editing is like taking a lens and zooming way out—until the entire book comes into focus. Forget about grammar, forget writing gorgeous sentences. All of that can come later. At this stage, we’re still bringing your ideas to life, tightening up plot lines, organizing the table of contents so that the book’s argument is strengthened. This is the writing process at its messiest and also its most exciting stage. Anything can happen! The ultimate goal is to create a clear roadmap for your revision that you can follow to the finish line.

My rates vary per project, but fall in line with EFA standards.

Copy Editing

Copy editing is like taking a zoom lens and focusing on your words at the microlevel. If you plan to self-publish, copy editing is one of the last things you do before sending your manuscript off to the formatters. It means hiring someone to take the time and the care to examine each sentence and search for missing commas, subject-verb agreement, effective word choice, clarity of ideas, and overall tone. It’s about polishing and refining so that your words and ideas shine as brightly as possible. 

My rates vary per project, but fall in line with EFA standards.

Book Coaching

I view book coaching as a mentorship of sorts. Through a series of bi-weekly meetings via Zoom or telephone, we will work together to brainstorm ideas, set writing goals, work through blocks, weigh publishing decisions, and develop a tailored, book-writing process that works for YOU.
