Services


A few ways we can work together

Every project is a snowflake, and no matter where you are in the development of your manuscript or book proposal, I can jump in and lend a guiding hand, customizing my services to your specific needs.

Proposal Review

If you’ve got a proposal and want to make sure it’s got the best shot for publication, I’ll review your proposal and offer up a dev edit as well as overall assessment to strengthen each section.

Proposal Development

Let’s work hand and hand to develop your nonfiction book proposal. I’ll set out a roadmap, create deadlines, and offer up real-time feedback to ensure your project gets out of your head and into the hands of agents, editors, and ultimately your target readers.

Query Letter & Submission

An often overlooked component when submitting is researching and curating the right list of agents and publishers for your project, and then customizing each query. I will work with you to put your best publishing foot forward and draft and submit a winning query that not only delivers your elevator pitch, but lays out why your book will be successful with their agency or publishing house.

Manuscript Development

Need help with the manuscript itself? If you’ve got a memoir, business, self-help, cookbook, how-to, or other nonfiction project brewing, I can edit, collaborate, or ghostwrite so your vision and voice come to life.
