Editing & Feedback Services
Real edits. Honest feedback. Built for writers who want their work to hit harder.
If you’ve got a piece that’s close—but not quite landing—
I’ll help you strip it down, sharpen it, and find what’s really underneath.
I’m a writer first. That’s why my edits aren’t performative or precious—I know what it’s like to sit with a draft that’s not quite working and to need someone who sees the real thing inside the mess.
If you want clarity, sharpness, and a ruthless-but-loving edit that makes your work better without sanding off your voice—this is for you.

Add-On: Zoom Session
Want to talk it through?

Let’s make your words work harder.
Editing doesn’t have to be painful. It should be clarifying, energizing, and make your work stronger—without crushing your soul in the process. If you’re ready to sharpen your writing and build momentum, let’s do this.

Rush rates available on request
No guarantees of publication. I’ll help you make the piece stronger, sharper, and more you—but I can’t promise how editors or agents will respond.
48-hour notice required for cancellation/refund eligibility
I reserve the right to decline projects that aren’t a good fit. No hard feelings—it’s about making sure we’re aligned.
