Whether you’ve finished a manuscript or you’re shaping a wisp of an idea, I've got the tools to take your book project to the next level.
BOOK PREP
Have an idea for a great book? With this consultation, we’ll ask the questions on every literary agent’s lips: What’s it about? What qualifies you write it? Who are your readers and how will you reach them? We’ll also cover current publishing trends and outline an action plan to get your project started on the right foot. $120
THE 50-PAGE REVIEW
I’ll read your first fifty pages and provide detailed notes on voice, dialogue, setting, and character development. I’ll analyze your sentence mechanics and provide the tools to keep your writing clean and lean. I’ll also celebrate everything you’re doing right. The 50-Page Review includes line-edits for five pages and a 90-minute consultation. $285
THE STRUCTURAL EDIT
Your story rocks, but your manuscript falls flat. This happens when an author knows too much--and stuffs it all into the book. To put the sizzle back in your story, we’ll clear info-clutter, tighten transitions, and quicken the pace to keep readers turning pages. A reading fee of $200 (applied to the total charge) will allow me to evaluate your full manuscript and provide a quote for this collaborative editing project. $850 to $5000
ONE-SHOTS + MULTIPLES
Submit up to 20 pages before we meet and we’ll go over them with a fine-toothed comb during a 90-minute edit session. I’ll follow up with edited pages, reference materials, and recommendations for specific websites to elevate your writing. $120 each (4 for $425)
AGENT PITCH PACKAGES
Before you start your book proposal, it’s essential to research literary agents and submission guidelines. Most request a cover letter, synopsis, author bio, marketing plan, and sample chapters. But requirements vary. Proposal prices depend on your book’s genre and scope. $450 to $1500
GHOSTWRITING ISN'T SCARY
I accept a limited number of ghostwriting projects with a $1500 monthly retainer and contract. Each month, I provide six one-on-one sessions, 2-4 hours each, and remain accessible by phone or email. I’m also travel to meet book clients for intensive 2 or 3-day work sessions. Book consulting prices range from $5000 for a business or design book to $25,000 for a start-from-scratch project with in-depth interviews spanning a year or more.
Collaborative writing is an intimate process that requires confidentiality, trust, and mutual respect. A good fit is essential to a great creative partnership. Let's talk about your project. 30-minute consultation is complimentary and the decision about what’s best for your book remains, as always, yours.
