Whether you’ve typed “THE END,"

I’m here to move your story forward.
Book a Power Hour
This one-hour Zoom conference is right for you if you’re still trying to wrap your head around your big idea, or you’re just starting out as a writer. Maybe you want a little encouragement, or recommendations for classes or books, or help figuring out how to set reasonable goals or how to juggle writing time with work and family obligations. If this sounds like you, book your hour today!

Monthly Coaching packages
Monthly coaching sessions are meant for writers seeking accountability and editorial support on an ongoing basis. This is best for writers who need help hitting benchmarks, writing goals, or meeting deadlines. It’s also great for writers who like the idea of getting regular feedback, like they would in a writing group, but who don’t have the time to commit to a critique group, or can’t find a suitable group, themselves.
Epic Coaching
Includes 4 Power Hours each month, plus 8 hours of reading pages and email conversations. Power Hours can be used in this context for coaching, critique, or as a writing sprint.

Developmental Editing
If you’ve typed “The End” on your story, you may be ready for a Developmental Edit. As your editor, I’ll read your manuscript three times, with an eye towards character, story, structure, pacing, plotting, and world building. I’ll mark up your manuscript, and I’ll create a comprehensive memo explaining my notes and making suggestions for future drafts. I will never over-write you, and I will never call out a problem for which I don’t also offer a suggestion or solution. Once you’ve had a chance to look at my notes, we’ll set a Power Hour to discuss my thoughts, answer any questions you might have, and to create an actionable plan for your next draft.

Includes Power Hour
Line Editing
I provide line edits for writers whose drafts have already undergone earlier edits for big picture items. Line edits are tweaks to prose that sharpen your prose while safeguarding your voice at all costs.
$.03/word
And just to be sure we’d be good partners:
10 x $10 Sample Edits
I offer 10-page sample edits for $10. (Pages in this case are understood to be Word or Google documents, Times New Roman, 12 pt, double-spaced -- roughly 2500 words.) If we end up working together after that, those fees will be applied against your project price.
Political Consulting
I am no longer working in politics, but if you are thinking of launching your first campaign, you can always purchase my workbook, Run for Office, Change the World!

A word about AI:
I do not work with people who use generative AI for any part of their writing process,
and I will never employ generative AI when working as your editor or coach.
Our work together is a team sport.
The thieving robots who are destroying our brain function,
sucking up our water,
draining our energy resources,
and dumping the bill on us
are absolutely not on our team.
