My writing review services

Do you feel stuck in your writing?
Do you know something isn’t working in your book, but you can’t pinpoint what it is or how to fix it?
Do you need encouragement and accountability to get through your draft?
Do you wish you could brainstorm with someone and get help finding the strongest choices for your story?

I’d love to help. My one and two week writing review services are part writing coaching, part developmental editing, and all enthusiastic support for your book and your writing goals. There’s nothing I love more than cheering authors on and helping them make their stories as strong as they can be.

Whether you choose to work with me for one week or two, we’ll spend the time having back and forth conversations over a free video messaging app that allows us to fit our conversations into your day whenever you have time.

The experience is customizable to your particular needs and struggles with your book, or more generally in your writing life. I’ve had writers who need accountability and send me pages each day to discuss and encourage them. I’ve had writers who’ve sent outlines, when they need help structuring and brainstorming. I’ve had writers send full manuscripts and we have rearranged scenes, strengthened structural issues, and cut unnecessary words to make the story shine.

I specialize in story structure, scene structure, character motivations, plot holes, and dialogue, but I can help with a number of other struggles as well. I don’t provide copy edits or line edits, but rather focus on the big picture, helping you hone in on the story you're trying to tell.
