Deep Editing / Rewriting

If your text needs an extensive rewrite or a more aggressive edit, we can help you overhaul it. We will incorporate most of our suggestions directly into the text and highlight the lines in question. In areas that need further clarity, we will insert a comment or question for you.  But we will not re-write it for you.

Manuscript Evaluation

We can also read your manuscript without editing it for elements such as characterization, story structure, and pacing, and provide you with a written assessment of where your story needs help.   The cost for this is $1.00 per page. 

Writing Goal Coaching

We can help you set your writing goals and provide accountability for reaching them.  Included in this service are an in-depth interview for initial goal setting, motivational messages specific to your needs, weekly check-ins, and help with brainstorming ideas when you get stuck.  Coaching is available for a monthly fee, since goals are achieved over time.  Rates start at $100 per month, or $500 for six months.  Goals and progress are re-evaluated every three months.  Telephone consultation is also available for an additional fee of $60 per hour.  However, if you’re not 100% satisfied with our coaching services after the first 90 days, we offer a full refund.
