My Process
Introductory Meeting
We chat about your manuscript, your goals, and where you're at in your writing journey—no pressure, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.
Manuscript Review
I read through your work and put together a sample edit, so you can see my style and feedback before committing to anything.
Custom Edit Plan
Based on what your story needs, I'll map out a tailored plan—developmental edits, line edits, or a mix—along with a timeline.
The Editing Begins!
We get to work! You'll get regular check-ins and clear, constructive feedback every step of the way, so you always know where your manuscript stands.
