Frequently Asked Questions

Do you edit grammar or proofread?

No. My focus is story development—plot, character, structure, pacing, and overall storytelling. If you're looking for copyediting or proofreading, I'm happy to recommend trusted editors.


Do I need a completed manuscript?

Not at all. Many of my clients come to me with nothing more than an idea, outline, or a few chapters. 


How do consultations take place?

All consultations are held virtually, making it easy to connect no matter where you're located.


What genres do you work with?

I work with most fiction genres, with particular experience in romance, fantasy, young adult, and contemporary fiction. If you're unsure whether your project is a good fit, let's chat during a free Discovery Call.
