Let's Work Together
Whether you are a writer or an agent, I look forward to working with you.
- Send me a brief description of your material and the kind of help you’re looking for.
- After review, I will ask you to send in the first 50 pages of your manuscript.
- I will look over your sample manuscript at no charge to determine whether we are a good fit.
- I will send you an estimate for the project and suggest one of the following approaches:
Structural Editing
This service provides an in-depth analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the material, focusing on major issues such as pacing, characterization, story structure, and narrative focus.
Line Editing
This service includes copy editing to correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as well as strengthening the work on a line-by-line basis
I look forward to working with you!
Betsy Mitchell, Author
Being an author makes me even more aware of the importance of the author/editor relationship. My book, Journey to the Bottomless Pit: The Story of Stephen Bishop and Mammoth Cave, the fictionalized biography of a young African American who became known worldwide for his exploration of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, in the early 1800s. The book was nominated for several state library awards and was named a New York Public Library Best Book for Kids.
