EDITORIAL SERVICES

For ten years I wrote screenplays for the major studios. I'm a produced playwright and a published novelist. My editorial services are available for dramatic writing, plays and screenplays, and for prose—fiction, memoir, nonfiction. I'll read your work and write a detailed editorial letter, offering notes in the margins of your manuscript. We'll meet in person or online. The letter and our discussion will address components of story and structure, character, dialogue, pacing, voice and tone. My approach is holistic. The only criterion—that each page engages and compels. I'll tell you what I think succeeds, and how you might improve the work. I offer a niche service, consulting with one writer at a time. For my flat-fee rates and other specifics, please contact me. And thank you.
