Edit | Proof | Develop | Copy | Coaching

As a fan of the workshop model of writing courses, one of my favorite things was watching someone grow through feedback.

​

I offer my services in editing, copy-edit, proofreading, developmental edits, and coaching.

If you are looking for packages to get all your needs met, see the offers below!

Develpmental Edit

Much like workshopping, this is meant to strengthen the overall structure of your manuscript. This is meant to take your story through the next draft, give feedback, set goals, and understand your story better.

Half to Full Manuscript
