Self-Editing School
Want to edit your book into publishing shape, but can't afford a developmental edit? You're in the right place. You can now purchase my self-paced online course, Self-Editing School, for only $129. SES helps you self-edit and revise your first draft into a final draft using the 5 core concepts of fiction writing:
- Plot & Pacing
- Characters, Arcs & Relationships
- Worldbuilding & Setting
- Style & Structure
- Dialogue & Description
You get immediate lifetime access to 7 video modules with over 25 lessons and 6 worksheets. Click here to buy the course.
Query & Synopsis Package
Looking for a fresh pair of eyes for your query and/or synopsis?
$39: I will read your query letter and suggest changes and edits for structure, grammar, tone, and the overall pitch without having read your manuscript.
$59: I will read your query letter AND synopsis (up to 2 pages single-spaced) and offer feedback from a reader and editor's perspective without having read your manuscript.
Chapter(s) Package
Getting the first one to three chapters right is essential if you want more full manuscript requests from agents.
$99: I will offer feedback on up to 10 pages (Times New Roman, double-spaced) of your first chapter, focusing on line edits, writing style, and voice.
$189: I will offer feedback on up to 35 pages (Times New Roman, double-spaced) of your first 3 chapters, focusing on line edits, writing style, and voice.
Manuscript Critique / Developmental Editing
If you're eager to take your writing to the next level and need my editorial eyes on an early draft, look no further. This full manuscript critique/developmental editing package comes with in-line comments in the margins with my real-time thoughts, a 4-5 page editorial report, and a 45-min Zoom call to brainstorm a revision plan for your manuscript. This package is priced at $0.0075 per word. (for example, a developmental edit of an 80,000-word novel would be priced at $600)
