Rigor, inquiry, honesty, & gentleness.
Book a manuscript consultation today.
Grow your writing into the vision you have for it.
Consulting sessions begin with a few questions about your manuscript, where you think it currently stands, and your ambitions for your work.
Based on your answers and after carefully reading your piece, I will give you feedback on how you can take your manuscript to the next level.
I’m a voracious reader who loves something from every genre and style, although I’m especially partial to character-driven literary fiction, magical realism, stories with a deep sense of place, and personal essays.
You can read some of my own work here.
You’ll receive:
A brief questionnaire that identifies the goals and concerns you have for your manuscript, as well as your values and aesthetics as a writer.
An editorial letter with feedback based on the vision you have for your work.
Line edits on the manuscript to increase meaning, beauty, and clarity.
A 1:1 twenty-minute call to ask any questions about the feedback and next steps.
Insight and guidance from an accomplished published fiction writer, essayist, and teacher who has taught at Northwestern University and StoryStudio, a creative writing center.
The rate for a manuscript consultation is $125 per hour. This includes a twenty-minute 1:1 meeting.
