My Services

 With over eight years of writing experience, I am still an avid learner of my craft and a firm believer in the power of knowledge-sharing—both of which I bring to every edit. Whether you're aiming to self-publish or land an agent, I’d love to help elevate your writing and bring your project closer to the finish line. 

Please reach out to me with any questions. Payment is billed in USD through PayPal. Please refer to my Terms of Service with regard to the use of AI.

Picture Book Critiques 

up to 700 words     $35 USD

700-1000 words    $ 45 USD

Every critique comes with two rounds of thoughtful, encouraging edits. You'll receive a detailed editorial letter highlighting what’s working well and identifying key big-picture areas—such as plot structure, character development, pacing, and voice—for improvement. In addition, I’ll provide in-line, line-level edits directly in your manuscript. These will focus on tightening word count, refining word choice, sharpening opening lines, and correcting grammar and syntax to enhance clarity and flow.

Terms of Service

Use of AI and Refunds

 I value the work of authors and the time and talent it takes to create their art. I will never use AI as a part of my services to you.

 

In turn, I reserve the right to refuse work deemed to have been produced using any form of artificial intelligence. 

If payment was already received when the use of AI is detected upon the first round of edits, a 50% refund will be issued through PayPal. 

If an author submits any revisions that are produced using AI no refund will be issued and no further edits will be made to the document. 

You can create beautiful art with your words without the help of AI. I believe in you and our ability to work together to make your words shine.
