Editing support can help you share your wholehearted business with the world
Whether you’re writing a book, a newsletter, an e-course, or a blog post, translating your ideas from thoughts to print can be challenging. You need to:
- Say exactly what you mean to say
- Write in a way that resonates with your intended audience.
- Create a clear flow of ideas
- Guide your reader seamlessly from start to finish.
- All while deeply understanding the context of your writing—why you’re writing, what you aim to accomplish, and how you want your readers to feel while you do it.
That’s where I come in.
I can coach you through the writing process, nudge you in the right direction, or partner with you to make sure you get things just right.
Editing at any stage of writing
Developmental editing is a holistic kind of editing that is useful at any point in the writing process (and that's why I LOVE it!).
Only have a vague idea of what you're trying to say? Get help clarifying your message and creating a road map for your draft.
Lost in the middle? Get unstuck by shifting your perspective and getting clear on a doable next step.
Worried that you're saying things all wrong? Get a vibe check and see how things look to someone else's eyes.
I've helped my clients get started, get going, and finally finish.
I've helped them reframe, revise, rewrite, and reorganize.
It doesn't matter what stage you're at, help is availablein the form of personalized feedback and guidance, laser-focused questions and observations, intuitive leaps, wholehearted encouragement, and enthusiastic draft un-sticking.
Coaching, Reviews, and Revisions
I offer three levels of editing help so you get customized support, no matter your project or preference.
ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!!! Coaching Call
Whether you're brainstorming ideas, stuck in the middle, or questioning everything you've ever written, a coaching call can help. Get quick support, unsticking, reassurance, or accountability, and get back on track, knowing that someone is waving rainbow pom-poms and yelling "ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!!" as you go.
Perfect for you if:
- You're starting out or just have rough notes
- You're stuck and need a perspective shift
- You've got a specific problem you need help with
- You want to talk things through
You send me:
Information about your project (goals, audience, intended results) and what you need help with.
Your draft or notes (if any)
I give you:
A 60-to-90-minute Zoom call where we get specific about your project and work together to get you back on track**
An emailed summary of the points we went over and the plan we worked on
The option to book a discounted check-in call to follow up**
**Zoom calls not your thing? Chat or email is also available!
Pricing: Starts at $150
An ENCOURAGEMENT!!! Coaching Call isn't for you if:
- You want thorough feedback on your entire draft
- You want specific notes and suggestions throughout your draft
- You want help revising more than a short section
Sound good? Complete a custom coaching form and I'll get back to you with booking information
Landmarks and Look-offs Draft Review
Also known as a manuscript assessment, a draft review is a bird's eye look at a document. It gives you an idea of how things are going and where your revising efforts would be most useful.
Perfect for you if:
- You have a draft at least partway written
- You're looking for general advice about where your draft needs work
- You're considering investing in a full edit but want to check how you're doing first
- You prefer notes and ideas to chatting
You send me:
Your work so far
Information about your project (goals, audience, intended results), as well as an idea of any concerns you have
I send you:
An editorial letter with my overall impressions, feedback on the structure, style, tone, and mechanics of your draft, notes about any other issues I noticed, and my recommendations for what needs work
Pricing:
Varies depending on the project—when you send me your draft, I'll reply to you with a quote.
Landmarks and Lookoffs isn't for you if:
- You want in-document revisions and questions
- You want a Zoom call

Context and Co-Creation: A Collaborative Writing Experience
You’re working on something that’s scary-big or needs some extra TLC and you don’t want to go it alone.
No worries! Whether it’s a website, a proposal, a blog post, course materials, or a book draft, I’ve got you.
Copy Co-Creation is a coaching and co-writing experience where we work together to get your draft done. It’s a personalized program that’s tailored to you: to your project, your progress, and your unique needs.
I’ll provide actionable feedback, structural suggestions, rewriting recommendations, and accountability. We’ll review your draft more than once, eliminating issues as we go, until it feels just right. And we’ll have a dance party when we’re done*
*Dance party optional but recommended.
Because Copy Co-Creation is highly personalized and varies so widely by project, I customize every quote. Get in touch or schedule a call, and we’ll go from there.
