Consulting

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. I’m now offering editorial consultations on top of my own creative work as a traditionally published author and screenwriter. I currently have the capacity to take on 2-3 clients per month. If you’re interested in working together, I’d love to hear about your project.

What I Offer

Full Manuscript Evaluation

A full read of your manuscript (up to 100,000 words), followed by a detailed editorial letter focused on what’s working, what isn’t, and what to prioritize in revision.

I look at structure, pacing, character, stakes, plausibility, and overall cohesion, with an emphasis on how the book is actually landing for a reader—what I’m tracking, where I’m confused, and whether that confusion is working in your favor or undercutting your reveals/twists.

You’ll receive:

  • A 4–6 page editorial letter 
  • In-line notes capturing real-time reader response
  • A short follow-up exchange via email to clarify any questions
  • Optional 30-minute call available as an add-on

Best suited for writers who:

  • have a complete draft 
  • are preparing to query or submit 
  • feel their manuscript isn’t quite working, but aren’t sure why 
$3,000
If your manuscript is longer than 100k words, let me know and we can discuss pricing.

Opening Pages Evaluation

A close read of your first 50 pages, with a focused editorial letter on how the opening is landing.

I’m looking at the elements that determine whether a reader, agent or editor keeps going: clarity, pacing, character introduction, and narrative drive. You’ll come away understanding whether the opening is doing its job, and what to adjust if it isn’t.

You’ll receive:

  • A 2–3 page editorial letter 
  • In-line notes capturing real-time reader response 
  • A short follow-up exchange via email to clarify any questions 

Best suited for writers who:

  • are early in the drafting process 
  • want feedback before continuing 
  • are preparing to query and want to pressure-test their opening
$750
If you choose to move forward with a full manuscript evaluation, $400 of this fee will be applied.

FAQs

You can expect feedback within 2-3 weeks of your project start date. If there’s a waitlist, I’ll let you know before we begin.

I work with fiction writers at all stages—aspiring, agented, and published. While I have a lot of love for nonfiction, poetry, and kids’ lit, I’m not taking on those projects at this time.


Yes. While I write in suspense, I work with novelists across genres.

My goal is to help you produce the strongest version of your manuscript. I don’t provide referrals to agents or publishers.

I focus primarily on big-picture feedback. For projects that require more detailed line-level work, I’m happy to discuss on a case-by-case basis or point you toward useful resources.

I’m considering adding these services in the future. If they’re something you’re interested in, reach out and let me know!
