professional poetry feedback
Poetry editing at every level
My edits include both a developmental edit and a line edit specifically looking at voice, tone, consistency, and flow. I analyze poem by poem and the collection together as a whole.
Poetry packages include:
Develop your concept and organize your ideas.
CONCEPT CONSULTATION PACKAGE
Have you always wanted to write a book, but don’t know where to start? Do you have an idea, but need help organizing it? This Concept Consultation Package will help you conceptualize your idea and provide an action plan to get your manuscript organized and started.
Almost every author I consult with says, “These are the tips I wish I had known when I started. It would have saved me countless hours!” Taking this step first will save you both time and money!
Full manuscript feedback.
Manuscript
consultation
Manuscript consultations provide feedback on your manuscript and identify areas to work on in the next round of editing. Manuscript consultations look at both higher-order concerns, such as plot structure and character development, and lower-order concerns, such as style, tone, and dialogue.
Whether you are hoping to self-publish or pursue traditional publishing, a manuscript evaluation provides professional guidance to help get your novel ready for the next step.
What the package includes:
- One to two-page manuscript feedback
- Follow-up email(s) or 30-minute phone call to discuss the feedback and answer any questions you may have.
A little bit about me:
I have a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing, with a focus on Poetry, and a master’s degree in Information and Library Science, which means I love both imagination and organization—the perfect combination for a novel editor!
I have worked as a high school English teacher, a librarian, and, for the last five years, an editor and author coach. I love seeing words come to life; helping people cross the bridge from wanting to write to book to becoming an author.
One of the things I have realized working in publishing is the gap between writers and editors/agents/publishers (who charge a TON of money!). My services provide a middlewoman, allowing you to polish your vision and manuscript before sending it on to the next step!
