Editing Services

Manuscript review

This service is appropriate for almost any stage of the writing process, and can be repeated at various stages. 


I create a customized editorial letter for you reviewing the strengths of your manuscript and outlining how to improve it.


Editing services are also available to help implement changes. 

GRANT or Book Proposal REview

This service is appropriate for an existing proposal that doesn't feel quite ready to submit, or for when you are struggling to get started. 


If you have already made some progress, I will review your proposal for its strengths and weaknesses and offer suggestions for how to improve it. 


Editing services are also available to help implement changes.

Line and Copy Editing

Line and copy editing services are appropriate for a completed manuscript that doesn't feel quite ready to submit. 


This service is editing support at the sentence and paragraph level (as well as the chapter organization level). 


This kind of editing process polishes pages, clarifies structure, eliminates redundancies, and enhances flow. 


Your work is improved through expert editing - while still being 100 percent yours.

Quick and Affordable Support

If you're facing a tight budget or a shortened timeline, schedule a strategy session to get targeted support on your particular concerns right away.


This can be a one-time appointment - or you can book another session later.


You can also stack it with other services as needed.



Developmental Editing

This service is appropriate if you feel stuck, are struggling to find your argument, have structural issues, need help with chapter development, work better with support, or need to meet a deadline. 


I help you get it all sorted out, polished and ready to submit. 



Special Projects

I work with organizations on special projects, and workshops. Reach out to begin the conversation about how I can work with you.



Coaching and Workshops

Private Coaching Sessions

One-on-one coaching sessions are customized for you, your project, and your goals. (Includes short check-in emails.)

Strategy sessions

If you're feeling stuck, have one main concern, are facing a tight budget, or have a shortened timeline, schedule a strategy session. 


You'll get targeted support on your particular concerns right away.


This can be a one-time appointment - or you can book another session later.


You can also stack it with other services as needed.


Custom Workshops

Would your group benefit from a workshop? Reach out to talk about what I can design and present for you.


Workshops I've created and run include Podcasting 101, How to Apply for Grants and Fellowships, Dissertation Essentials, Writing Your Artist Statement, Self-Editing Skills, Becoming Un-Stuck, and Journaling for Creative Joy and Productivity. 


ACCountability check-ins

Do you need someone to support your timeline, and your goals?  


We will customize your regular check-ins via email or text to keep you on track. 


Dissertation and Grad student coaching

One-on-one coaching time to help you manage your timeline to graduation, as well as your research and writing. 


We can work through your writing and organizational challenges, talk about things like how to implement your advisor's feedback or how to approach a potential publisher, and we can review and improve your grant or job application materials together before you send them out. 


Group sessions are also available for cohorts. 


What's holding you back?

If you'd like help with any stage of your writing life or your writing project, please reach out. 


We'll customize support for you, your goals, your budget and your timeline.
