Whether you’re shaping an early idea, revising a rough draft, or polishing a completed manuscript, I provide developmental editing and content support to help bring your writing to its fullest potential. My background is rooted in developing soft-skills training materials and instructional resources, but the foundation of strong content remains the same across genres: clear structure, purposeful organization, and a meaningful connection with the reader. I support writers working on a variety of projects, including fiction and nonfiction books, editorial articles, and educational materials.
Pricing
My standard rate is $95/hour. Before beginning any project, I review the scope of work and provide a detailed estimate based on factors such as content length, complexity, project goals, and the level of support requested. No work begins until you’ve reviewed and approved the estimate.
Most projects are quoted based on an estimated number of hours, so you’ll know the expected cost before work begins.
Initial discovery calls and, when appropriate, sample edits are complimentary.
