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.
