Are you a writer looking to polish a manuscript, or find a way forward through a finicky narrative problem? I can help!
I offer a variety of mentoring, editing, and evaluation services to help your writing shine. Whether you’re looking for someone to help you through a long-term revision of your project, are looking for substantive editing feedback, or want notes on a smaller project, I am here to help you.
MENTORING: This is a long-term, monthly package (5 months minimum). We’ll go into your manuscript week-by-week and do a thorough exploration and re-visioning of your latest draft. This package includes a full read of your manuscript followed by weekly one-hour Zoom meetings for the duration of the package, where we’ll go through chapter-by-chapter submissions of the new, in-progress draft. Price: $1500 CAD per month, plus HST.
SUBSTANTIVE EDITING: Substantive editing packages are available on a limited basis. With this package, you’ll get a full manuscript read (up to 100,000 words maximum), complete with in-line manuscript comments and an overall feedback document. The substantive editing package includes a one-hour Zoom call to discuss the feedback and go over any questions. Price: $3500 per manuscript, plus HST.
MINI-MENTORSHIP: Looking for some broader strokes of feedback but not quite feeling the need for the full mentorship option? The MINI-MENTORSHIP might be for you! The Mini-Mentorship includes 4 weeks of once-weekly submissions (10-20 pages per submission). I will read and offer email comments on your submission each week, and at the end of the four-week period we’ll have an hour-long Zoom call to bring all of this feedback together. Price: $500 plus HST for four weeks.
AD-HOC MENTORING: If the above packages don’t work for you, fear not! I am also available on an hourly basis through the Flying Books Mentorship Program. If you feel like that might be a better fit, reach out to the folks at Flying Books.
