Editorial Services

Do you have a complete chapter book, middle-grade, or young adult manuscript that’s ready to go to the next level? I can help you dig deep, looking for ways to improve the plot, strengthen the characters and their motivations, and explore the big questions at the heart of your writing. I’ll speak with you about your project’s specific needs, provide in-depth notes in an editorial letter, and make myself available for a follow-up conversation once you’ve had a chance to take in my comments.

If you’re happy with the plot and scope of your manuscript, but you feel the language and dialogue could use some polish, I can help! I’ll take a close, word-by-word look at your writing and make suggestions for finessing. I will likely fix some punctuation and sentence structure along the way, but this would not be a complete copy edit.

If neither of these scenarios sounds exactly like the stage you’re in, that’s okay! I’m happy to talk to you about your specific needs. My fee will always be tailored to the service you need and the length of the manuscript. I can also give feedback on your proposal or help with series development. Just let me know how I can help!
