EDITING. It’s a package deal! $100 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.

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.

If you are interested in working with me as an editor, please complete this application and I will be in contact with you soon.


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 $40/hour or $140 for a 4-hour block. Contact me for more information.
