The happy medium you’ve been looking for.
Developmental editing
6-week dev ed sprint | $2250
NGL, this is me at my best.
Over the course of our weekly appointments and the work we’re each independently doing on the book… some kind of marvelous mind-melding happens.
I provide structure, big suggestions, and an open mind. All you need to bring are your trust, honesty, and a willingness to try shit.
Walk away with:
an outline rooted in your voice and goals
a compelling sample chapter that shows what the book could be
a full revision or rewrite of that chapter, so you can see the work evolve and gain traction
an action plan of next steps (whether you're writing it yourself or seeking a ghostwriter)
Developmental editing for full book
Much more than copyediting and coaching.
Much less than me writing the whole thing for you.
It happened accidentally. I just started doing it and then I discovered there’s a name for it. Developmental editing is the happy medium between ghostwriting and coaching, and coaches keep picking it. I love it.
Time varies depending on length and complexity of projects and is estimated and contracted in customized 6-week sprints.
I drive the process as we co-develop the concept and contribute to different aspects of the manuscript.
Need a book coach instead?
Sometimes your writing really needs to come from you!
I offer services that’ll help you manage writer’s block and make efficient use of your time and energy, including one-off appointments and ongoing engagement.
