You know there's something not quite working, so let's figure out what it is. A manuscript critique gives you an experienced editorial perspective on the bigger picture of your book.

Your critique may include:

• Story structure and overall cohesion

• Pacing and plot development

• Character development and arcs

• Reader experience

• Genre conventions and expectations

• Strengths worth preserving

• Areas that may need further development

• Clear, actionable suggestions for revision

You'll walk away with:

• a better understanding of what's working versus what's not

• ideas of where to focus your revision efforts next

Your story is on the page. Now let's polish it. Editing is about strengthening what's already there, not turning your manuscript into someone else's book.

Depending on the level of editing you choose, I can help with:

• Grammar, spelling, and punctuation

• Sentence structure and clarity

• Word choice and consistency

• Dialogue and prose

• Flow and readability

• Repetitive or awkward phrasing

• Continuity and consistency

• Manuscript formatting and polish

My goal: 

Help your writing sound like you, only clearer, cleaner, and stronger.

Your book deserves a cover that feels like the story inside it. A good cover does more than look pretty. It communicates genre, tone, and reader expectations before someone reads a single word.

Cover design includes:

• A design tailored to your book and genre

• Discussion of your vision, preferences, and inspiration

• Genre and reader-expectation considerations

• Typography and layout designed for readability

• Carefully selected imagery and/or graphic elements

• Front cover design for your chosen format

• Revisions to make sure the final design feels right

• Professional, publication-ready files

The goal: a cover that looks like your book and tells the right readers, “This story is for you.”
