manuscript critique

Fiction editing that focuses on the fundamental craft elements of your story or novel: character, voice, theme, world building, setting, plot, and structure.

I edit fiction of every variety, but I specialize in literary and commercial fiction with at least a touch of the speculative–be that magical realism, fabulism, new weird, sci-fi, fantasy, slipstream, horror, or surrealism.

My editorial approach is rooted in deeply engaging with your story goals, rather than applying cookie cutter “rules” to your manuscript. Having taught writing at the college and workshop level, I have the experience to help writers at any level of their career.

After reading your manuscript, I’ll write an editorial letter highlighting the strengths of the piece, areas for improvement, questions and suggestions to help you address those areas, and recommended readings, which we will then discuss in a virtual tea.
