THE DEEP WORK

Creative mentorship for writers, memoirists, and women building meaningful bodies of work. 

Whether you're writing a memoir, building a Substack, trying to reconnect to your voice, or finally bringing the thing you can't stop thinking about into the world, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are. Together, we make space for both the creative and emotional realities of the work—the fear, resistance, uncertainty, vision, structure, storytelling, and everything in between. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

The Deep Work: Complimentary Intro Call

 

Not sure which session is right for you, or whether we'd be a good fit? I get it—investing in your creative work is a real thing and you want to make sure it's the right call before you do.

Book a free 15-minute call and let's just talk. Tell me where you are, what you're working on, what feels stuck or uncertain. We'll figure out together whether we're a good fit and which offer makes the most sense for where you are right now.

Developmental Editing

I work with memoir, personal essay, and narrative nonfiction—writing that comes from life and asks something real of the person making it.

My role is to read your work deeply and help you see both what’s already alive in it and what wants to emerge more fully. Together, we look at the larger architecture of the piece: structure, emotional arc, pacing, voice, narrative tension, and the deeper questions the work is circling beneath the surface.

You send me your manuscript, essay, or work-in-progress, and I return a detailed editorial letter alongside in-manuscript notes and reflections. We then schedule a follow-up call to talk through the feedback together and discuss where the work wants to go next.

You do not need a finished draft to work with me. I read completed manuscripts, works in progress, exploratory drafts, and projects that are still finding their shape. If the work exists and you’re looking for thoughtful, honest, deeply engaged feedback, that’s enough.

Developmental editing is billed at $0.05 per word or at an agreed-upon flat project rate. A 60,000-word memoir generally falls around $3,000.

Let's talk about your work

Before we work together, I’d love to hear about your project. Send me a note about what you’re working on, where you are in the process, and what kind of support you’re looking for. And if you’re wanting something more ongoing—developmental editing woven together with mentorship and creative support—we can talk about what that might look like too.
