You've written something. It's not finished—but something in it is alive. You just need help seeing what it wants to be.

That's where developmental editing comes in. I don't just fix sentences. I look at the big picture: structure, flow, argument, voice, character, pacing. I help you see the shape your project is reaching for.

I work with: • Memoirs and personal essays • Self-help and personal development manuscripts • Book proposals • Creative non-fiction • Any writing that needs to find its shape

Honest, thoughtful feedback on what's working and what isn't

Big-picture thinking about structure and purpose

Attention to voice—does it sound like you?

Questions that help you see your own work more clearly

My approach: I read as a fellow writer, not just an editor. I'm not here to impose my vision on your work. I'm here to help you see yours more clearly—and then help you get there.

Pricing & Timeframe: Projects are priced based on length, complexity, and timeline. I offer three tiers depending on your needs:

• The Blueprint (4 days) – For shorter pieces (essays, articles) up to 2,000 words. Includes editorial letter and annotated manuscript. Starting at $75.

• The Foundation (7 days) – For manuscripts up to 10,000 words. Comprehensive review with multi-page editorial letter and annotated comments. Starting at $200.

• The Architect (14 days) – For projects up to 25,000 words. Includes strategy call, unlimited follow-up, second pass, and style guide. Starting at $400.

Message me with your project details, and I'll send a custom proposal tailored to your needs.
