I have added and expanded some editorial services. Here’s a refresher of them all: 1) Manuscript Critique — A “is this thing actually working” gut check on your manuscript. Comes with a brief feedback letter and comments on the manuscript. Great for manuscripts that have gone through a few drafts and yet you still can’t quite put your finger on what’s unfinished about it. 2) Developmental Editing — A down-and-dirty editorial assessment of your messy draft. Comes with an in-depth editorial letter, comments on the manuscript, and a one hour phone call to discuss. Great for early drafts looking for direction. 3) Line Editing — I take a fine-toothed comb to each of your sentences and edit for clarity, form, style, and flow. *Not to be confused with copy-editing. Great for those who need help putting the panache in their drafts. 4) Copy Editing — This is the grammar police portion of editing. I edit for grammar, typos, and continuity. *Not to be confused with proofreading. Great for those with an ear for words but no eye for grammar. 5) Proofreading — This is the last-ditch, catch-all-mistakes-or-forever-hold-your-peace portion of editing. This is the final check of your manuscript in its final formatted form before it is sent off to the printer. Great for independent publishers or anyone preparing documents for public consumption. 6) Story Coaching — You ever just need to talk through your manuscript with someone? Bounce off some ideas? Verbally vomit the plot until you figure out what the hell you’re missing? I’m here for you. 7) All In Editing — You can choose these services a la carte as needed, or you can go all in! All In Editing is where we work long-term from beginning to publish on all facets of the editorial process. This will involve a mix of coaching and editing to get your manuscript to the finish line. 8) Picture Book Consultations - I have been doing story time for unruly crowds of babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids for over 15 years now. So when I say I have specific expertise on picture books, I good goddamn well mean it. In a picture book consultation, we’ll talk story, form, style, illustrator notes, and developmental appropriateness. 9) Picture Book Start To Finish — You can also go all in on picture book publishing with me to help you take your book from concept to manuscript to print. Perfect for independent publishers looking to get the best book possible out on the market. 10) Ask Me Anything Writing Consultations — Schedule some all-you-can-ask time to discuss anything publishing, freelancing, pitching, writing, or kidlit-related. I’m an open book. Wheeeeeewwww that’s a lot of options. What can I say? That new bathtub ain’t gonna pay for itself.
