About this service

Summary

My goal is to help you create a final young adult manuscript that is ready for submission for agents or publishing houses. I work with authors who are both in the idea phase or those who have a completed manuscript that needs work. During the process, I will also offer industry advice based on my experience as an Associate Publisher.

What's included

  • Initial assessment

    I work with people who have both partial and full manuscripts. The initial assessment will involve me reading the manuscript in its entirety and providing you a breakdown of your major plot points. From there, I met with you to discuss the areas where the story most needs work. We then decide on a schedule to heavily edit, rewrite, or create new writing, to help transform the book into its best version.

  • Developmental edits as you write.

    We will break the book into 3-6 portions. As you rewrite or write each section, I’ll then review it and offer both line edits and overall comments.

  • Final over arching edit.

    Once the entire manuscript is complete or has been fully edited, I’ll do a final review to point out and additional missing elements, check for continuity, and make minor line edits where needed.
