$40 USD per hour

Plagued by the proverbial writer’s block? Need an experienced opinion on which direction to take your writing next? Maybe you need to discuss new ideas or work through existing ones? No matter your writing issue, I can help. Schedule a call today. (30 minute minimum)

Just a few topics writers chat about:

• Submission ideas/plans 

• Develop new/existing book ideas

• Basics of getting started

• Finding your reader

• Moving past a certain scene or chapter

• Character development, world building, and more.

Pricing: $0.0015 per word (4,000-word minimum)

What’s Included:

• A complete, attentive read-through of your manuscript, approached from the perspective of a thoughtful, engaged reader.

• Margin comments (when applicable): Real-time reactions noted directly in the manuscript, highlighting moments of confusion, emotional impact, strong engagement, or detachment.

• For larger projects (typically 10,000+ words):
  You will receive a 1–5 page written report summarizing key insights and observations, including:

  • What’s working well and why

  • Big-picture issues such as plot coherence, character development, point of view, voice, pacing, and language

  • Noted inconsistencies, logic gaps, or areas that may benefit from further development

  • Questions a reader might naturally ask while moving through the story

  • Suggestions for areas to revisit during revision, while still respecting your creative vision

This is not a line edit or developmental edit—but rather an informed, reader-centered response designed to help you understand how your story is landing and what might be standing in the way of a powerful reading experience.

Pricing is $0.015 per word

Developmental edits include: 

• A read of your partial or full manuscript

• Inline comments and a comprehensive editorial letter

• Suggestions can cover multiple subjects from use of language to voice, plot, and character

• One (1) 45-minute call to discuss additional questions/issues once you’ve had time to review the editorial letter and inline notes

Getting honest feedback is one of the smartest steps you can take before publishing. A thoughtful beta read can reveal what’s resonating—or missing the mark—long before your book hits the shelves. It’s not just helpful; it can be transformative.

When I read your manuscript, I approach it the way a real reader would—immersed in the story, noting reactions, emotions, and questions as they arise. You'll get a clear picture of how your book lands with someone who reflects your intended audience.

What You Receive

📄 Reader Report (up to 3 pages)
A clear, honest breakdown of what stood out, including:

• What’s working—and what’s not

• Noted plot holes, logic gaps, or moments of confusion

• Insight into character dynamics: who feels real, who feels off, and why

• A quick 1–10 rating of the overall reading experience

• And more

📘 Commented Manuscript

Your manuscript will be returned with margin comments that reflect my real-time reactions—moments of engagement, confusion, emotion, or detachment. These are purely reader-focused and don’t include editorial or structural suggestions.
