EDITING. It’s a package deal! $175 gets you 20 pages (or 5000 words) of developmental and/or line editing (fiction, nonfiction, or novel in progress) plus a 1/2 hour meeting or phone call to discuss edits or next steps.
COACHING. If you’re working on a long-term project or are in need of accountability, encouragement, and new perspective on your work, I offer coaching at $50/hour or $175 for a 4-hour block.
My editing experience includes previous work as an Assistant Editor at COMPOSE Journal, Associate Editor at Noble/Gas Quarterly, former Roundtable Critique Group Leader at Red Oak Writing, and a member of Forest Avenue Press’ novel acquisitions team. I am also editor and publisher at Hidden Timber Books. In coaching, I have worked with authors on full manuscripts, individual essays and stories, ideas for and help with the submission process, and general “Let’s get writing” coaching. My own work has been published online and in print, which includes essays, short stories, book reviews, and articles on writing. If you are interested in working with me, please complete this form and I will be in contact with you soon.
ONLINE COURSES & WORKSHOPS. My teaching experience includes online courses through the #PenToPaper series with themes on #PenToPaper Story Stewardship, Principles & Prompts, Flash Nonfiction, Creativity: Why It Matters, Book Studies, Word By Word, #StudyHall monthly generative workshops, and more. Contact me for more information on asynchronous courses, one-day workshops, and book studies.
