Editorial Services
Do you have an idea for a book but are struggling to find a unique hook? Maybe you have a finished manuscript but are not sure what to do next? Or perhaps you’re self-publishing or got the book deal (yay!) but need some guidance along the way?
Drawing on 20 years of international publishing experience, I help serious writers navigate the publishing landscape, supporting them through every step of the traditional or self-publishing process, from concept development to contracts, copywriting and cover designs.

Book Coaching $90/hr
Book Proposals & Query Letters $250
Your manuscript is in its best possible shape and it’s time to connect with a publisher or agent. Talking about your own work is often more challenging than writing the book! I will help you identify what will resonate most in today’s market to help you craft an attention-grabbing query letter or proposal. You only have one shot, so get it right. I work on all genres of fiction and nonfiction.
I can also guide you in selecting the right publishers/agents and help you with the unwritten rules and protocols of publishing.
