EDITING


Developmental editing is an evaluation and feedback on ideas, big-picture concerns, chapter order, chapter titles, headings, artwork, characterization, plot points, themes, consistency, style choices, and identifying gaps. It is a strong collaboration between writer and editor. This does not cover spelling and grammar errors.

 $85/hour


Line editing is all about style and the use of language to convey a story. Line editing does not cover tiny errors; line editing includes an evaluation of run-on sentences, overused words, odd style habits, redundancies, dialogue, confusing scenes, poor transitions, tonal shifts, tense discrepancies, odd phrasing, bland language, narrative digressions, pacing and overall consistency.

$60/ hour


Copy editing takes place after a substantive edit but before proofreading. The objective of copy editing is to polish the copy so that it’s clear while retaining the author’s voice and meaning. Copy is defined as “matter to be printed,” and a copy editor is responsible for this polishing step. They comb through a written work to identify and correct: grammar, spelling, tone & style deviations, wordiness, clunky transitions, confusing syntax, probelmatic language, misused words, unevenflow, and more.

$50/hour



Emergency 24-hour Turnaround editing is available for those who need a resume, book summary, a few chapters, marketing email, substack newsletter, blog posts, an essay, or other items under 15 pages. The flat rate for this is $125 with a guaranteed next-day delivery.

​ANALYSIS


I offer a comprehensive manuscript analysis that includes a full reading of your work and detailed, constructive feedback to help you strengthen your manuscript. I look at structure, pacing, character development, voice, and overall impact—providing honest, actionable suggestions while respecting your unique style and vision. I work with all genres, from fiction and nonfiction to poetry and hybrid projects. Whether you're polishing a novel, refining a memoir, or trying something experimental, I’ll help you see what’s working, what isn’t, and how to take your writing to the next level.​

MENTORING


Looking for some one-on-one guidance in your publishing journey? I offer consulting at $200 per hour, and how we use that time is entirely up to you. We can spend the hour talking through your publishing strategy, reviewing query materials, discussing self-publishing options, or diving into your manuscript. You’ll be billed per session—perfect for those who want flexible, focused support without a long-term commitment. If you’re considering a larger project (like a full manuscript critique or multi-session plan), I can provide an estimate based on the scope of work. Hourly consulting is best for writers who need a few hours of professional insight and direction. If you’re looking for a deeper, long-term partnership, explore my mentorship program, where we work closely together over several months to move your project from concept to completion.​

PR


SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
Let me help you cut through the noise. I create tailored social media campaigns that amplify your book’s reach, engage readers, and build your author brand across platforms. From eye-catching posts to strategic scheduling, I handle the details so you can focus on writing.

Contact for rate as it depends on the extent of the plan you'd like. An example offering would be $200 for ten ready-to-post graphics + captions for up to three social media platforms along with a suggested posting schedule delivered in one day. For a full-scale plan, we can discuss what you need and draft a project price that works for the both of us.


PRESS RELEASE AND MARKETING MATERIALS
Your book deserves a proper spotlight. I write bold, professional press releases and build polished press kits that grab attention from media outlets, bookstores, and event organizers. Whether you need a single announcement or a full package, I’ll craft materials that make people take notice.

​$250 flat rate


PROFESSIONAL REVIEW SUBMISSIONS
Getting reviews is key to building credibility and buzz. I research and submit your book to respected review outlets, from trade publications to niche literary sites, to help you gain visibility and traction in the industry. I handle the outreach—you get the reviews.
