Bravo! Finishing a writing project is a challenging accomplishment worthy of celebration. Whatever you’ve written, your next step is to hire a professional editor to make sure it’s polished and ready to face your audience.
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing looks at the big picture, and is most helpful to writers who are in the early stages of their book, screenplay, or play, or those who feel stuck and need help moving forward with their story.
Developmental editing includes a deep dive into content, theme, structure, style, and tone, as well as plot, pacing, and character development.
Rates are based on the complexity and category of the work involved.

Graphic Design, Layout, and Book Formatting
As I mentioned, the shapes of letters and words are fascinating to me, so it’s no surprise I am naturally drawn to logo design. It’s another form of storytelling, but you, the client get a few seconds at most to tell it. What information, what tone, what feeling do you want to convey to your audience in those seconds? What’s the best font to use as a jumping off point? What color or colors suit the story? How can we make the image that represents you unique and memorable?
Once you’ve got that unforgettable logo or manuscript, how are you going to share it with your audience, your customers? I’m the whole package, and I can help you create yours. Let’s talk.
Every service I offer starts with a conversation, and I’d love to talk with you soon.
