Reach Your Audience
Do you have a story you’re dying to tell? An idea you know can change people’s lives? Or have you read and revised the same manuscript too many times and need a fresh set of eyes? I work with clients at every stage of the process. Wherever you find yourself, I know I can help.
Some come to me with only an idea and notes. Others have a rough draft they can’t figure out how to fix. I come alongside the work you’ve already done and help you make it better by providing intentional reads and constructive feedback.
Let’s get started.

FAQs
-
Yes! In this hyper competitive publishing environment, clients often come to me to help them get a manuscript or book proposal in shape to shop around to agents and editors. I welcome writers at all stages in the process.
-
As a former agent and in-house editor, I covered a wide range of categories, so now as an editor and consultant, I work on both fiction and nonfiction and multiple subcategories of both. However, I do not do romance or children’s picture books only because I have little experience in either category.
-
I do not, but I do work with clients to build agent submission lists, strategize their submission plans, and develop and fine tune their query letters and marketing materials.
-
For a select group of clients, I do offer publishing services from manuscript to bound book. However, most of the writers I work with are more interested in the traditional publishing route, so we work together toward achieving the goal of finding an agent and/or editor.
