Services
Choosing the right level of editorial feedback depends on where you are in the writing process.
Whether you're looking for an in-depth developmental edit, ongoing support as you revise, or a focused consultation to help you move forward, my goal is the same: to provide thoughtful editorial guidance that strengthens your manuscript while preserving your unique voice.
Not sure which option is the best fit? I'd be happy to help you find the right place to start.
Developmental Editing
A comprehensive, collaborative edit focused on strengthening your manuscript while preserving your unique voice. Together, we'll explore story structure, character development, pacing, dialogue, emotional impact, and the overall reader experience, identifying both your manuscript's strengths and the opportunities that will have the greatest impact on your story.
This service is ideal for authors who are ready for comprehensive editorial feedback and a clear strategy for strengthening their manuscript.
Every developmental edit includes a personalized Revision Roadmap designed to help you prioritize revisions and move forward with confidence.
You'll receive:
-
A comprehensive editorial letter
-
Inline comments throughout your manuscript
-
A personalized Revision Roadmap
-
A follow-up consultation to discuss your manuscript and next steps
Revision Partnership
Revision can feel overwhelming, especially when you're making significant changes to your manuscript. Revision Partnership offers ongoing editorial support as you work through your revisions, giving you a trusted thought partner to help evaluate ideas, solve story challenges, and strengthen your manuscript one step at a time.
This service is ideal for authors who have completed a developmental edit and would benefit from continued editorial guidance throughout the revision process.
Depending on the package you choose, your revision partnership may include:
-
Scheduled consultation sessions
-
Editorial feedback on revised chapters or sections
-
Guidance as you work through your personalized revision roadmap
-
Support with story questions and revision decisions
-
Email support between sessions
Author Consultation
A focused, 60-minute, one-on-one consultation tailored to your manuscript, your questions, and your goals. Whether you're working through a story challenge, discussing revision strategies, or looking for professional editorial insight, we'll spend our time where it's most valuable to you.
This service is ideal for authors who would benefit from focused editorial guidance without committing to a full editorial service.
You'll receive:
-
A 60-minute Zoom consultation
-
Personalized editorial guidance tailored to your manuscript and questions
-
Written follow-up notes summarizing our discussion, key recommendations, and suggested next steps
What Clients Say
“What I appreciated most was Connie’s ability to identify not only where something needed more, but why. She consistently asked thoughtful questions that helped me dig deeper into the emotional layers of my story, strengthen reflection, clarify important moments, and consider what the reader might need from me.
Her feedback was specific and actionable without ever feeling as though she was trying to change my voice or make the story her own. I came away with not only a stronger manuscript, but a deeper understanding of my own story and how to tell it.”
Eve, memoir author
“As a first-time author, sharing such a personal story felt confusing and scary at times. Connie brought insight, professionalism, and real compassion to my work. She exceeded my expectations, and I’ve already asked her to continue working with me.”
Memoir author
"Connie identified every inconsistency in my timeline — dates, events, and character history — and clearly marked them in the manuscript, making revisions straightforward. She also highlighted what was working well, which was incredibly encouraging. I was impressed by her professionalism."
Suspense Author
“I really enjoyed working with Connie. Her insights and suggestions were incredibly helpful, and I feel like I have a clear path forward for revising my novel.”
Manuscript Review
“Connie was prompt, thorough, and addressed problem areas in my manuscript in a clear and detailed way. Her feedback was extremely helpful, and I highly recommend her.”
