Thank you for your interest in working with me. This form is designed to clarify your current manuscript framework and ensure our production timelines and budgets are a great fit.

My own work focuses entirely on your high-level developmental strategy and voice refinement. For authors looking for an end-to-end publishing pipeline, I also manage and subcontract all technical copyediting, professional interior layout/cover design, and post-layout proofreading to a trusted team of highly skilled specialists so your focus remains entirely on your writing.

Next Steps & Availability: To maintain high-touch support for every author, I only accept a limited number of active projects per quarter, and my calendar fills quickly. If your project and budget align with my framework, I will follow up via email within 3 business days with initial pricing quotes or an invitation to schedule a brief alignment call.

Please share the core details of your work below so we can explore a collaborative partnership and map out a sustainable path for your work.

Where are you currently in the writing and publishing process?

Select your stage based on my service frameworks. Feel free to select multiple that you're interested in learning more about.

The Idea Stage (Shaping & Coaching): I have a loose concept, outline, or a shorter draft and want a Diagnostic, Conceptual Blueprint, or ongoing Monthly Partnership (Coaching) for support as I write the draft.

The Manuscript Stage (Macro Structural Review): I have a completed full-length draft and need a big-picture Manuscript Critique to evaluate organization, pacing, and logic before anyone touches a typo.

The Manuscript Stage (Deep Editing): I have a full draft and need intensive Developmental and Line Editing to refine the flow and shape my voice before moving to technical polishing.

The Manuscript Stage (Technical Polish): My structure is solid, and it's ready for a professional Copyedit (subcontracted fix for grammar, style guides, and sentence-level mechanics).

The Market Stage: I have a finished manuscript or book proposal and need help refining my pitch packages, submission materials, or book-to-platform strategy.

The Full-Service Production Stage (Idea to Design): I want an end-to-end self-publishing pipeline—moving sequentially through editing, subcontracted copyediting, professional design/layout, and a final Proofread (conducted at the very end to catch formatting glitches post-design).

The Ghostwriting Stage: I have raw research or deep expertise but no draft, and I want full-scale, publishing-grade ghostwriting from beginning to end.

Project Budget, Scope & Pipeline

Please note: I do not review or edit academic dissertations. My work focuses strictly on your high-level developmental framework, which must take place before a manuscript moves to a technical finish. Because I focus on this high-level strategy, I do not personally copyedit or proofread; instead, I manage and subcontract that work to highly skilled professionals to ensure a clean pipeline.

Here is the order of the editorial workflow, moving from macro to micro level:

Developmental Strategy: Clarifying your core concepts, audience positioning, and structural blueprints before or during the writing process.

Developmental Editing: Evaluating the big picture of a completed draft—fixing organizational gaps, pacing, logic, and chapter flow.

Line Editing: Polishing your unique voice at the sentence level—refining rhythm, clarity, and stylistic flow.

Once our developmental work is complete, the manuscript moves to the technical finish:

Copyediting (Subcontracted): Resolving sentence-level mechanics, grammar, punctuation, and style guide consistency.

Design & Layout: Translating your polished text into a beautiful, industry-standard interior layout and custom cover design, managed entirely through my partnership with award-winning book designer, Raúl Peña.

Proofreading (Subcontracted): The absolute final quality check conducted after professional book design and interior layout to catch formatting glitches and lingering typos.

Select all tiers that match your goals.

(Prices for completed draft are broad estimates and reflect 60,000 word manuscript scope)

$350 – $650 (Idea Stage: Stress-test ideas in short excerpt, map outlines, or run a diagnostic check on initial words)

$500 – $1,800 / month (Secure steady coaching, structural strategy, and accountability touchpoints)

$1,500 – $3,000 (Completed Draft: Obtain big-picture evaluations or pitch materials)

$4,000 – $9,000 (Completed Draft: Execute deep structural overhauls and sentence-level refinements)

$9,000 – $15,000 (Full-Service Self-Publishing: Manage an end-to-end self-publishing pipeline through final design)

$30,000+ (Build a complete book via full-scale ghostwriting from interviews or research)

I am comfortable with your rates but want your help to discuss the best fit.

Human Craft & AI Policy

Because I believe the strongest editorial work comes from engaging directly with an author's own thinking, voice, research, and lived experience, I do not evaluate, review, or edit AI-generated or AI-massaged prose or outlines.

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

On my end, use of AI tools are strictly limited to information gathering, such as market research for comps or factual cross-checking. I never use AI to draft, revise, or line-edit your prose.

Your ideas, research notes, outlines, and manuscript pages are treated with strict confidentiality. They are never uploaded into public models or used to train external algorithms. Your unique voice belongs entirely to you.

Verification of Authorship

By submitting this form, you confirm that the material you provide reflects your own writing and thinking and has not been substantially generated, rewritten, or “edited” by generative AI. (Basic spellcheck and grammar tools are fine).

Yes, I confirm.

No, I do not confirm.
