Writing has a pulse that moves a story from one moment to the next. My developmental editing follows that rhythm—attuned, responsive. This isn’t about a quick polish or a single pass—it’s a steady, meticulous process that adds meaning and tension, and lets your text gain depth with each page.
Whether you’re shaping a novel, memoir, or something else, we’ll uncover its depths and let the meaning surface when it’s ready.
What Makes This Approach Different:
Many editors step into a manuscript briefly, leave notes, then move on. I prefer to stay, to listen, to give the story the space it needs to shape itself on its own terms.How It Works:
Monthly Collaboration
This collaboration is designed for writers who find their rhythm in the written word. Through weekly email exchanges, we’ll create a calm, focused space where your story can deepen and take shape. Over the course of a month, we’ll explore one key aspect of your work, centered on what matters most to you right now. All communications happen exclusively through email, offering the clarity and flexibility that a written dialogue provides.- Structure: Finding the architecture that holds everything together.
- Character Development: Building lives that feel real and resonant.
- Pacing: Tuning the flow so every step pulls the reader forward.
- Or wherever your attention is drawn—dialogue, theme, tone, or something else entirely.
Weekly Email Conversations
This is not a one-way street. It’s a dialogue—a living, breathing exchange of ideas and insights. Together, we’ll refine, explore, and push your story closer to where it wants to be.
End-of-Month Reflection
At the month’s end, we’ll look back at the ground we’ve covered and chart a way forward. Whether you continue for another month or take time to revise, this process is yours to shape.
Why This Approach Works:
- A Space for Growth: Writing needs time and trust. This approach allows both.
- Momentum Without Rush: A steady rhythm keeps progress alive without overwhelming.
- Support at Every Turn: You’re never alone in the process.
