Congratulations on finishing your novel! Here comes the exciting next step: revision!

With an MFA in Creative Writing and over a decade of professional writing and publishing experience, I can help your novel on the path to publication. Whether you are looking for developmental notes, proofreading, or general feedback, I offer a supportive, inquiry-based approach. My goal is to understand your project and make it shine. As a creative writing teacher, editor, and reader I love nothing more than helping writers grow in their craft and find their unique voice.

I will provide in-line comments about plot structure, character development, setting, and voice. I will also offer questions to guide your revision process.
