Whether you’re developing an idea, rebuilding a difficult middle, revising a completed manuscript, or trying to stay accountable long enough to finish, you’ll get thoughtful developmental feedback designed to move your project forward. I hold a graduate degree in Creative Writing, have worked as a developmental editor for an independent publishing house, and write and publish commercial fiction.
Each plan is intentionally focused: enough access to create momentum, enough space for you to keep writing. Bring me an idea, an outline, a character bible, a partial draft, a completed manuscript, or a specific writing problem. You’ll receive thoughtful developmental feedback, practical revision guidance, and a clear next step.
Do I need a completed manuscript? No. Bring an idea, outline, character bible, partial draft, completed manuscript, or a specific writing problem. • What genres do you work with? I work with most commercial fiction genres, including romance, romantic suspense, mystery, thriller, contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, historical fiction, and young adult fiction. I don’t currently specialize in literary fiction. • How many pages can I submit? Your plan includes the page limit listed above. Manuscript pages should be double-spaced; single-spaced outlines and character materials count as two pages per submitted page. • Will you rewrite my manuscript? Developmental editing and mentorship provide feedback, instruction, and recommendations. Rewriting is not included unless a separate agreement is created. • Can I pause my mentorship? Yes. There is no long-term commitment. You can cancel future renewals or pause and return when you’re ready, subject to the rollover terms in your agreement. • Is my work confidential? Yes. Your manuscript and private project information are treated as confidential under the service agreement. • What about AI-assisted writing? I welcome AI-assisted manuscripts. Substantive AI-generated or AI-rewritten pages must be disclosed before work begins. If extensive voice restoration or reconstruction is needed, the scope, timeline, or fee may change; any revised fee will be discussed and approved in writing first. I do not use generative AI to create, rewrite, substantively edit, summarize, or analyze a client’s manuscript.

You don’t need another reader who says, “I liked it.” You need an experienced fiction professional who can help you understand why the story is or isn’t working—and what to do next.
