Manuscript Coaching
I am now available for manuscript coaching!
My focus as a manuscript coach is to support you and your writing process. I’m open to working with all writers at any stage of manuscript development, with a particular interest in:
-
new and emerging writers interested in starting a full-length project who are unsure where to begin
-
writers working on a project who are struggling to find its “through-line”
-
poets interested in (or who have begun) writing a poetry chapbook or full-length poetry manuscript (80 pages maximum)
-
prose writers interested in (or who have begun) writing a book-length project
What manuscript coaching is:
-
working one-on-one to devise strategies that help you achieve your writing goals
-
regular check-ins and accountability on writing progress
-
written feedback on passages or sections of the manuscript (negotiated on an individual basis with you)
-
light substantive editing

What manuscript coaching is not:
-
ghost writing/writing
-
agenting the work
-
query letter writing or review
-
publishing (in any format)
-
in-depth substantive editing, copy editing or proofreading
