High-End Editorial Strategy for Authors, Scholars, and Experts
I help writers turn complex ideas into compelling public text. Whether you have a sprawling collection of notes, a complete draft stuck in a revision loop, or a forthcoming book ready for publication, finding the right editorial partnership shouldn't be a mystery.
My services are mapped out by project stages. Find your exact stage below to see how we can work together.
The Idea Stage
For writers working from a loose concept, a rough outline, or an evolving body of work who want to find their definitive throughline before investing months writing the wrong version of their book.
3,000-Word Diagnostic ($250): A live, meticulous check on a single chapter to verify your prose, pacing, and voice are actually landing on the page.
Conceptual Blueprint ($500): A high-level structural roadmap to establish your book's macro-level organization and chapter flow before you draft.
Editorial Partnership: Flexible, ongoing strategic support and hourly consultations tailored to keep your momentum moving forward.
The Manuscript Stage
For authors with a partial or completed draft who need an experienced outside perspective to pressure-test their narrative arc, structural balance, and core themes. [1]
Manuscript Critique: A comprehensive bird's-eye assessment identifying structural problems, logical gaps, and clear priorities for your self-revision.
Developmental & Line Editing: Deep, collaborative, and hands-on editing targeting both big-picture architecture and sentence-level mechanics.
The Market Stage
For authors preparing to approach agents or publishers, pitch university presses, or construct a beautiful public presence around an upcoming launch.
Proposal & Query Package: Strategic refinement of your query letters, book proposals, sample materials, and submission positioning.
Book to Platform: A cross-disciplinary collaboration with designer Raúl Peña blending editorial strategy and visual branding to build your public presence.
Substantive Writing & Ghostwriting
For industry professionals, experts, and artists who have a powerful story or a body of research but want an experienced essayist to shape it into a substantial piece of writing.
The Process: Deep, highly collaborative ghostwriting that values human connection and preserves your distinct voice while cutting through clutter.
