Developmental Editing

Send me your manuscript!

Serious feedback. Real transformation.
A book you can proudly publish.

Do you have a manuscript that feels like it's almost there, but not quite? Perhaps you're wrestling with questions about structure, wondering if your pacing truly serves the story, or sensing that your characters haven't yet found their authentic voices.
If this resonates, know that you're in good company—and your story isn't beyond saving.

I specialize in deep, story-focused editorial guidance that reaches far beneath the surface. This isn't about catching typos or smoothing sentences; it's about understanding what your book is trying to become and helping it get there. Whether you're discovering your voice as a first-time author or you're an experienced writer facing a particularly stubborn draft, I'm here to walk alongside you in the creative process.

Think of this as comprehensive creative collaboration—a partnership where we might rebuild your story from the ground up if that's what it needs to flourish. Together, we'll uncover the heart of what you're trying to say and ensure every element serves that vision.

And if you're working in non-fiction, don't think this doesn't apply to you—the most compelling non-fiction reads like the best fiction, drawing readers in with narrative power and emotional resonance.
