I offer personalized editing services tailored to your individual writing needs. My services focus on detailed manuscript critique and line editing. I pride myself on offering exceptionally thorough manuscript review and strive to provide insightful, constructive criticism. I approach each writer and each project fully aware that every piece of work produced is unique and has individual editing needs. I will respond to all work submitted for my services with a detailed, typed reaction full of specific recommendations and with line by line editing suggestions. The length of the typed response will be commensurate with the work reviewed. While I provide traditional detailed line editing, I view my more important role as that of a writing coach, attempting to help you see and build upon your strengths and find new strategies for improving upon your weaknesses. Options include:
- full critique with line editing;
- line editing without critique;
- proofreading.
In addition to traditional manuscript critique and line editing, I am available for consultation on the following (email or phone consultation at an hourly rate):
- preparing manuscripts for publication;
- developing MFA portfolios;
- advice on writing query letters and proposals;
- help for approaching publishers, editors, and agents;
- learning the literary magazine market;
- understanding the "business" of the writing business.
