Consulting & Editorial Services
“Start working right now, from this place, with the feelings you have at the moment.”
What I’ve learned on my own writing journey, and by working with writers over the course of many years and many books — is that the creative process asks something new of us every day.
To create over a lifetime we must regularly engage with what transforms and teaches us, and understand what we most resist. When we do, we find many and diverse powers to help — and eventually find that we are not working alone, but in tandem, in concert.
— Carole DeSanti
Consulting and editorial services by arrangement
I work with authors, agents, and publishers on selected fiction, nonfiction, and memoir projects.
Manuscript Evaluation: An informed read and opinion on full-length manuscripts and proposals. Revision suggestions, thoughts on where to go
next, and a sounding board for ideas.Developmental Editing: Focuses and shapes work at the draft, or manuscript-in-progress stage
Line Editing: For late-stage work, brings clarity and polish to finished material
Coaching: Helps formulate a project, provides feedback mid-way through, and brings book-length work through the final stretch
Or a combination, depending on the needs of your project.
