About this Gig
I'm a traditionally published author with 14 years of experience helping stories become clearer, stronger, and more themselves.
My middle-grade novel, The Crystal Ribbon, was published by Scholastic Press, and I hold two MFA degrees in Creative Writing. I work with chapter books, middle-grade novels, young adult fiction, and general fiction.
When I read your manuscript, I'm looking for more than what is wrong. I'm looking for the heartbeat of the story: the character readers will care about, the tension that keeps the pages turning, the voice that makes the book unmistakably yours, and the places where the story may have wandered into the woods and needs a lantern.
Depending on your package, you may receive:
A professional editorial critique
Detailed comments throughout your manuscript
Feedback on plot, character, pacing, voice, and dialogue
Guidance on worldbuilding and story structure
A clear, prioritized revision roadmap
A story scorecard with practical next steps
My feedback is honest, encouraging, and practical.

FAQ
What does one revision include?
One revision includes feedback on one revised version of the same manuscript. It does not include rewriting the manuscript, a full second developmental edit, proofreading, or unlimited back-and-forth.
What manuscript lengths do you accept?
Each package includes a set word count. You can add extra words at checkout. For manuscripts significantly longer than the package limit, please message me first so I can recommend the right package or create a custom offer.
What file formats do you accept?
Microsoft Word files are preferred so I can leave clear comments and suggestions directly in the manuscript. I can also review Google Docs or PDFs, but please message me first if your formatting is unusual or illustration notes are important.
Do you rewrite the manuscript for me?
No. This service focuses on professional critique and developmental guidance. I may suggest possible solutions or sample phrasing, but I will not rewrite the manuscript or replace your voice with mine.
Will you proofread or correct grammar too?
This gig focuses on developmental feedback, including character, structure, pacing, voice, dialogue, and emotional impact. I may note occasional language issues, but full proofreading, copyediting, and line editing are not included.
