EDITING SERVICES
Have you written a manuscript but want to make sure it's submission-ready? Have you already gotten your manuscript critiqued but aren't sure which agents or publishing houses to submit to? Do you want to make sure your query letter is good to go? I can help!
As a member of multiple critique groups and a published author, I have worked with many writers throughout the publishing process. Through the Editorial Freelance Association and a graduate of Renee M. LaTulippe's Lyrical Language Lab (an intensive on rhyme and meter), I am confident I can take your manuscript to the next level!
At this time I am open to picture book editing only.
