Manuscript & Large Project Work
from conceptualization to final curation
Have a concept that you are looking for help developing? Or have a manuscript that feels stalled? Do you want big picture, hands-on assistance on your writing project?
For this type of service, I bring my experience and passion for project planning, seeing the macro and micro of a creative work, and cooperative collaboration to help you develop and advance your narrative.

Your writing is part of you and this service will allow writer and editor to work hand-in-hand to achieve your creative desires.
This service is typically done in multi-session blocks.

One-on-One Development
education and mentoring
While I have been a writer for longer than I can remember, having the opportunity to teach others will always hold a treasured space in my heart. I have a wide breadth of teaching experience and have worked extensively with writers to help them grow and hone their craft. I find that while having an editor is a necessary part of being a writer, learning how to edit (your and other's work) and be edited is just as important to the process.
One-on-One development can be a singular session or several to help you develop your writing and editing skills, and grow into the fullest version of your writer self.
I am additionally available for hire to teach literary craft and editing technique courses to group and large classes in online sessions, as well as available for consulting and help developing writing and editing groups/workshops.
