Crafted to Captivate
Good storytelling is more than just words on a page. Elevating your work to the level of traditional publishing isn’t out of reach, and the process doesn’t have to be opaque or impersonal.
A partner in the process: How we collaborate
01 Assessments
Your story is one-of-a-kind—your editorial feedback should be too. Assessments are designed for ambitious writers aiming for the highest level.
02 Consultation & Coaching
Bespoke and tailored to your unique process. Elevate your work with expert insight and precision—attentive, high-level editorial feedback when and where you need it.
The Approach
-
Let's chat. Tell me about your story. I'll need the basics - genre, word count, a brief pitch, and the first 10 pages of the manuscript. Don't worry about "perfect." This is used to give an accurate quote and timeline.
-
The Assessment. All writers begin with an assessment of the material as it exists, whether that's a full or partial manuscript. Assessments give a big picture look at the book you've written and helps us plot out our course.
-
Editorial Consultation. Receive targeted feedback in a bespoke package designed to honor your unique process and elevate your work. Move towards your dream publishing outcome with confidence and clarity.

Complicated, 'unlikeable,' female protagonists, families with secrets, historical stories from unlikely perspectives, nuanced portrayals of power and gender, especially in churches, cults, or small southern towns, tongue-in-cheek takes, rich people behaving badly, and, always, the underdog

Probably
restarting the internet, arriving 2 hours before my flight, scrolling TikTok, claiming a digital loan in Libby and sending it to my Kindle, having a little treat, singing Bonnie Raitt's 'I Can't Make You Love Me,' refilling my water
