Consulting
Services Offered
Editing
For writers who have a work-in-progress—whether a short story, a group of poems, a novel, a personal essay, or a memoir—and would like feedback on higher order concerns such as theme, style, structure, and voice. Line editing may also be included.
Manuscript Consultation
For writers at any stage of the manuscript completion process—whether early-stage idea generation, mid-stage development, or late-stage review—who would like professional support, a high-level review, and agent and placement suggestions.
MFA Guidance
For writers who would like coaching and consultation during the MFA selection and application process. Consultants will offer feedback on the application packet as well as on any personal statements or accompanying critical essays.
Coaching
For writers who are stuck or overwhelmed, who would like to find joy and inspiration in their writing practice, or who want thorough guidance on their writing with the opportunity to establish an ongoing working relationship with a professional writer.
