You’ve already done the hardest work. You've gotten that book on the page and hit The End!
Getting your manuscript to the next part of its journey doesn't have to be a looming monster or scary step. I help authors improve their manuscripts and take those pages toward their best version. Let’s refine, polish, and elevate your words to create something unforgettable.
Why Work With Me?
Collaborative Approach:
I won’t rewrite your story. My goal is to work alongside you to enhance your voice and vision. It will be your book launching into the world, polished and ready for readers eager to fall in love with it, and I look forward to celebrating that release day!Author-Friendly:
I respect how much you’ve poured into this. I’m here to support you, not change you.Experience:
For over 20 years I've worked with first-time and multi-published indie authors, USA Today and Amazon bestselling authors, and authors getting their manuscripts ready to pitch. Traditional manuscripts and AI-assisted works are welcome: I've worked with both and will make sure a consistent voice comes through.Straight-Forward Feedback:
The suggestions I send are targeted toward genre expectations as well as your own requests and focus points, and I'll explain the impact of changes you could make to further shape your book.
