Not sure where to start? Start here.

Every writer arrives at a different point in the journey. Some have a story idea bursting to get out. Some are mid-draft and losing the thread. Some have finished a manuscript and know, in their bones, that something still isn't right.

Wherever you are, there's a way in. Here's how we can work together.

THE MINI MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION/ $249

A focused, one-off editorial session

You've got a novel and you need honest, editorial feedback before you start revising.

The Mini Manuscript Evaluation gives you clear, editorial feedback on what's working, what isn't, and exactly what to do next. Get a big picture insight on your story, a developmental edit of your opening chapter and a 50-minute Zoom call to discuss the feedback.

This is a good place to start if you want to get clarity before you write the final draft. The Mini Manuscript Evaluation also gives you a sense of how we work together before committing to anything bigger.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING / from $275

For novels, novellas, and short stories

A developmental edit doesn't touch your words. It looks at the bones: structure, character arc, emotional stakes, pacing, and genre fit.

You'll receive a comprehensive editorial letter, inline comments with concrete examples, and a clear revision roadmap, plus a Zoom call to make sure you leave with full clarity on how to improve your story. Not just what to fix, but why it matters and how to approach it. When working with novels, I sample edit a few pages for free, so you can take an informed decision whether you want to work with me.

Pricing by project length:

  • Short story (up to 8,000 words) / $275
  • Novella (10,000 to 40,000 words) / $700
  • Standard novel (40,000 to 80,000 words) / $1,700
  • Longer novel (80,000 to 120,000 words) / $2,400

ONE-ON-ONE BOOK COACHING / $700/month

A creative partnership for the whole journey

This is the deepest level of support: ongoing, personalised, and built around your story, your process, and your goals.

Whether you're planning a new novel, drafting pages, or working through a revision, we'll work together every step of the way. Biweekly submissions, in-depth written feedback, and two 60-minute coaching calls per month. Writing process support is woven into every session, because finishing a novel is as much about the writer as the writing.

Not sure which service is right for you?

That's completely normal. Most writers aren't sure what they need until we talk about it.

The quickest way to find out is to reach out. Feel free to check out what one of my clients shared about our working together.
