Story Editing
Having trouble realizing the potential of your story? Struggling with your opening/climax/conclusion? I have extensive experience with picture books, young adult novels, screenplays and full-length novels. Let me help you:
- Refine your plot.
- Identify, expand and emphasize your character’s conflicts.
- Smooth out your pacing.
Fees are based on a combination of word count and time spent.
Manuscript Evaluation
Finished your story but not quite sure if its ready for submission? I can help with:
- Formatting
- Polishing
- Target market analysis
Fees are based on a combination of word count and time spent.
Query Letter Evaluation
No matter how good your manuscript may be, it won’t get published if editors never get past your query. I can help you:
- Identify and avoid common mistakes.
- Emphasize both your strengths and those of your manuscript.
I generally charge a flat fee per letter for query evaluations.
Synopsis Evaluation
So an editor has requested a synopsis. That’s great! I can help make sure your synopsis tells the real story of your story.
Fees are based on a combination of word count and time spent.
