Whether you’re starting with a spark of an idea or a messy draft, I help you shape it into a clear, compelling manuscript or book proposal.

You bring the ideas; I bring the structure, strategy, and support to turn them into a book that is built to meet your goals.

Here’s how we can work together:

BOOK STRATEGY

Outcome: Confidence, structure, and a clear plan for moving forward.

 

Book strategy labs start from $5,000 and are completed in 4-6 weeks.

You have a spark. I help you shape it into a full concept, with a strong hook, clear reader promise, and strategic structure.
You walk away with a roadmap—and the confidence to start writing with direction and purpose.

Together, we shape a book that’s clear, focused, and ready to come to life.

Outcome: A polished manuscript with stronger structure, flow, and voice.

 

Big-picture editing projects start from $10,000 depending on the level of support required, and are completed in 3-4 months.

Here, I get hands-on. You bring the draft; I bring the structure, strategy, and stylistic polish. This is developmental editing.
I reshape, refine, and strengthen your manuscript chapter by chapter—bringing your ideas into sharper focus while keeping your voice true.

Together, we turn your rough draft into a compelling, professional book.

Book Proposal
Editing & Coaching

Outcome: A pitch-ready proposal + a clear strategy for querying agents and publishers.

 

Book proposal coaching starts from $5,000; the typical engagement runs for 1-3 months.

Whether you’re starting with an idea, rough notes, or a full draft, I help you shape a powerful, market-ready book proposal.
You’ll have the positioning, sample material, and pitching strategy you need to get your book into the right hands.

Together, we craft a market-ready proposal and pitching plan, ready to spark offers from agents and publishers.

Outcome: A finished manuscript + a publishing and platform roadmap.

 

Full coaching and manuscript development programs start from $30,000 and typically run 6-9 months.

You’re in the driver’s seat—I’m alongside you, offering strategic feedback, coaching, and developmental editing as you draft your manuscript.
We keep momentum strong with regular check-ins, clear goals, and ongoing refinement of your ideas and structure.

Together, we’ll move from blank page to finished draft—with a publishing strategy that fits your goals.
