Writing Services

“Working with Alex is a pleasure and makes me a better writer. They ask questions and challenge your ideas, making you need to think more deeply about your writing. Engaging with Alex on my editing and revisions has made me a much better writer. Alex wasn't just crucial, but critical in helping me get CELESTIAL MONSTERS ready to be published." — Aiden Thomas, NYT bestselling author

Editorial Services

Manuscript Critique

I will read your full manuscript and provide a 3-5 page edit letter, detailing the strengths and weaknesses of your piece and suggestions for revision. Ideal for finished manuscripts that need a bit of polishing.

Typical quotes range from $1,000 - $2,500

Developmental Edit

A more detailed critique, including longer edit letter and a returned copy of your project with line edits on structure, plot, dialogue, character arcs, and the ever-elusive voice. Together we will bring your manuscript to the next level and make it shine!

Typical quotes range from $1,500 - $3,500

Flexible rates available for BIPOC, queer, and disabled community members.

Consultation

Not sure what help would work best for you? This is a great place to start! This is an opportunity to tell me about your piece, talk industry, or even just brainstorm together.

Video Call

Our first getting-to-know-you call is free! Then $50 per 30 minutes.

Coaching

Bi-Weekly

Bi-weekly check-ins to discuss where you are at with your manuscript and what your goals and aspirations are for the coming week. Feedback on up to 3,000 words per week (can be combined for bi-weekly or monthly feedback, as best fits with the client’s needs). Ideal for writers who need a little extra kick in the pants to stay on track.

$3000 per month

Monthly

A longer, monthly check-in to discuss your progress and broader goals for the project. Feedback for up to 12,000 words per month, to be given before or between meetings depending on the writer’s preference. Ideal for writers who are generally self-motivated but desire a bit of structure during the drafting or revision process. 

$1000 per month

Flexible rates available for BIPOC, queer, and disabled community members.

 My coaching services are always customized to fit the individual writer’s needs, but function under two frequency umbrellas.

No one can create in a vacuum! Sometimes we need a sounding board, or a gentle nudge in the right direction.
