Custom Manuscript Masterplan
The best way to begin working with a book editor is by receiving a Custom Manuscript Masterplan. No matter where you're at in the writing and revising process, the Custom Manuscript Masterplan is designed to put an end to the rewrite, revise, and "Oh no, I changed my mind again!" cycle. I'll use my editorial expertise to discern, first, what's working well in your manuscript and, second, what needs revision in order to do your story justice. Finally, I'll chart a personalized path through the editing stages to take you from first draft to published book.
