Coaching & Editing

How We Help

Even the most accomplished writers depend on trusted readers and editors at every step of the process.

Whether you need support from page one through the end of a first draft, feedback for your revision, or something in between — we can help.

  • We’ll evaluate the first 6,000 words (25 pages, 12pt font, double spaced) of your novel or memoir, and help you make sure your story starts in the right place, establishes subject and character, conflict, and action, and won’t let a reader put it down.

  • Flexible, expert advice when you need it. Book hourly support across a range of topics—from planning to problem-solving. This focused consultation will help clarify your goals, map out next steps, and identify opportunities for growth.

  • We’ll read your book, lightly mark the manuscript, write a 5-7p letter of editorial feedback, and meet in person or over the phone for a half-hour consultation.

  • This is our most focused and prescriptive editorial service. Includes line editing, margin comments, an editorial letter, and meeting in person or over the phone for a one-hour consultation.

  • We’ll provide margin comments, a detailed letter of feedback, and a 30-minute consultation on your complete short story or essay up to 6K words.

  • For writers who appreciate structure but would prefer to work one-on-one. We’ll give you the scaffolding to ensure your book’s success: deadlines, encouragement, and actionable feedback. Coaching is flexible and can be tailored to suit the writer’s needs, but our Six-Cycle Coaching option includes monthly feedback on 20-40 pages and a meeting to discuss next steps.
