How We'll Work Together:
My goal is to make this a supportive and straightforward experience, where you always know what to expect.
Here is the path we'll take to bring your non-fiction manuscript to life:
Step 1: Let's Connect
Your journey begins with a conversation. Fill out the contact form below with some basic information about your project, including the word count, a brief summary of your book, your vision / goals, and what type of editorial support you desire. This provides me with an initial sense of your work and allows me to see if we’re a great fit.
Step 2: The Sample Edit (Optional)
If you'd like to get a feel for my editing style, I offer a complimentary 1-page sample edit. This is a no-obligation opportunity for you to see the quality of my work and how I approach a manuscript. This will also help me understand your specific needs and how I can best support your vision.
Step 3: Partnership & Preparation
Once you decide to move forward, we'll sign a clear and straightforward contract, and a deposit will be made to secure your spot. I will then send you an introductory survey to complete. This is a valuable tool for you to organize your thoughts and for me to understand your goals, concerns, and hopes for the manuscript before I begin my work.
Step 4: The Consultation Call
After you've completed the survey, we will schedule a 30 minute consultation call. This is our dedicated time to get to know each other, discuss your completed survey, and dive into the specifics of your project. We'll talk about your vision for the manuscript and make sure all of your questions are answered before the editing begins.
Step 5: The Editing Process
With a clear understanding of your goals, I will begin the developmental edit. I will work with care and focus within our agreed-upon timeframe. While my focus is on your book's foundation, I also provide in-line comments and suggestions to help you rephrase, condense, and refine your sentences for greater clarity and impact. My work includes a comprehensive editorial report and in-line comments, which will be provided in a Word document shared via Google Docs.
Step 6: Project Delivery & Ongoing Support
I will return your manuscript to you on or before the due date. The completed project will include a detailed editorial letter that serves as your roadmap for revision, as well as comments and suggestions embedded directly in the text. I am also available for a follow-up conversation to answer any questions you have and ensure you feel confident and supported as you move forward.
