Book Coaching &

Developmental Editing

​

Book coaching and developmental editing are the first line of support for developing your manuscript. Tailored to meet your specific project's needs, this can include high-level 1-on-1 brainstorming sessions to create a road map, prioritization strategy, structure, and outline.

 

Together, we can transform your manuscript concept into a complete draft. Or, if you already have a manuscript, developmental editing can assess your narrative flow, rearrange sections and chapters, trim the fat, and fill in the gaps. I'll provide meta-level guidance while helping you straighten out the details.

​

Options for services will also include research, rewriting, and restructuring. I will assess your manuscript, and together we will make a plan to guide you through the process.

​

My insight and expertise will support this critical stage of completing your story.
