The Investment:
You’ll walk away with clarity, a concrete plan, and the creative fire to dive back into revisions with purpose.
This package includes a full developmental edit for manuscripts up to 90,000 words. For larger works, an additional fee of $50 per every 5,000 words applies. Because epic adventures deserve the time, and snacks, they require.
So, you’ve wrangled a full draft? Huzzah!
That’s a huge deal. But now your brain’s whispering things like, “Does this even make sense?” or “Why does Chapter 14 feel like a fever dream?”
Don’t worry. This is where the magic and mayhem begin!
The Manuscript Mayhem package is your chance to pull back the curtain and see what’s really going on in your story. This isn’t about grammar or commas, although you will need those too at some point. We’ll look at how your protagonist changes over the course of the story, whether their choices actually push the plot uphill, and if your narrative climbs with clear purpose or slides sideways off a cliff.
Even the most beautiful prose can’t save a story when the tension flat lines halfway up the mountain. Together, we’ll find where your rising action stalls, where the logic slips, and where your protagonist accidentally wanders off the trail. Then, through a mix of deep questions, wild brainstorming, and a sprinkle of chaos dust, we’ll dig up the tension and drama your story is begging for. The kind that makes readers feel every step of the climb. This is honest, heart-forward feedback designed to celebrate the magic already on the page while strengthening the moments that wobble.
Together, we’ll fine-tune your protagonist’s journey, reinforce your story’s heartbeat, and add just enough cheeky magic to remind you why you fell in love with writing in the first place.
Snacks optional, but always encouraged.

Developmental Edit
A full-manuscript deep dive using inline comments on your first 30 pages to spotlight patterns, character consistency, and story logic gaps. I’ll connect what’s working and what’s quietly sabotaging your story’s narrative climb.

Follow-Up Coaching Call
A 60-minute session to talk through the feedback, ask questions, and brainstorm how to use the letter to write forward. We’ll make sure you leave ready to tackle revisions with confidence and maybe a cookie.
