Literary & Developmental Editing

I have over ten years of experience in editing non-dramatic work including poems, short stories, creative non-fiction novellas and novels. I have worked on book proposals and reviewed books internally for institutions and externally for authors and publishers alike both inside and outside of academia. I edit scholarly texts, prose, novels, for publication, and a myriad of other materials through my own lens where academia meets understanding and accessibility. I don’t give line edits or copy edits. I don’t give written notes. It’s you and me talking about the heart of your work.

I’m looking to help independent authors with in-depth development of character, narrative, and structural rewrites. 
If you’d like to work with me on your text please send the following:
-A Cover Letter
-A Work Sample of the piece you’d like to work on (10 pages/1 chapter)
-Synopsis
-Developmental Goals

I’m happy to receive your query and let you know if I’m interested in the project and if it fits in my schedule. For projects that I am interested in, but do not fit in my current schedule I can give you future availability to see if that aligns with your goals.
