I Have Room For One More Manuscript Consultation--
Let me know if you'd like to work together on your project!
I’ve really been enjoying supporting writers with their work-in-progress. Amazing stuff going on! At least one author has gone on to a publishing deal, so far. Let’s increase that list!
If you’ve got a project underway and you’re ready for professional insights and suggestions, to speed along the revision process, I am here. It takes time and thought. I only schedule a few throughout the year, intentionally, so that I can hold each work in my mind, grant deep consideration.

A single short story, a collection, a novel, an essay, a memoir…
As I say on the website, I’ll take on projects up to approximate 300 or so pages.
I'll read the work (twice, at least) and offer specific comments and constructive, actionable suggestions toward revision.
For those who would like, we can talk by phone for clarification and discussion of your work-in-progress, or by email, or text.
The cost varies depending on the project, and I try my best to be flexible, to support writers. I realize it is an investment, for both the author and reader, for you and for me.
Contact me for pricing and payment options if this sounds like something which might support your work-in-progress!
One spot.
For now.

It's a tough one but I think in my case it was my first novel, lack of patience and honestly eager to have someone read it. I think about how it would be more helpful now but maybe not. Perhaps it was the path I needed but it was a lot of money and it feels wasted when I think about it.
I made the rookie mistake of getting a developmental edit for my novel way too early. I'd love for you to read it but it erks me how much I've already spent on it already, seemingly for nothing. Plus I can’t seem to get it under 400 pages.
