Foundations

We work together to help you determine, among other things, why you want to write a particular story, why its themes are important to you, and why now is the right time for you to write it. You come away with a clear sense of how to begin and give your story structure and momentum.

Manuscript Review

You submit a completed manuscript, and I read for broad issues that may be holding your manuscript back. I  comment on narrative arc, characterization, theme, promise, and more, highlighting not only next steps for revision but also what’s working well. You come away with actionable steps and a plan for revision.
