“From book to book, I seem to forget how to get characters in and out of rooms.” John Gregory Dunne.

Stuck and need a (direct but empathetic) second opinion?

I can provide a constructive reading of your literary fiction, memoir, or personal essay. I offer two editorial services focused on intention and craft.

  • A ‘big picture’ assessment with advice on next steps, covering content, voice, form and intention. A short written report accompanied by light-touch comments on manuscripts up to 15,000 words. Details of fees and lead-times on request.

  • A deep-dive response, including in-line comments/edits, and a one hour telephone/zoom conversation. For manuscripts up to 15,000 words. Details of fees and lead-times on request.
