If what you need right now is someone experienced to tell you whether your novel, plot outline or nonfiction proposal is on the right track, a mini-mentorship might be a good choice for you.
When you’re ready to commit to a longer period of working with me, a three-month mentorship can move your work ever closer to publication.
A manuscript assessment is unbiased feedback from someone other than your mother/partner/kids/best friend/students/guy sitting next to you at the cafe while you write. It involves a close reading of the manuscript as well as an objective analysis of the book’s strengths and weaknesses.
I work one-on-one with new or seasoned writers to create books that will engage publishers, agents and readers.
Hands-on editing work usually begins when a manuscript is complete. I edit fiction and non-fiction for readers of all ages.
