If you’re interested in book coaching, it’s best to apply as soon as you’re ready—maybe even a bit before you’re ready. I work with anywhere from 5-7 coaching clients at one time (all 1:1), and slots tend to open up 1-2 times a quarter.

If you’d like to hire me to copyedit or proofread your manuscript, it’s best to inquire 4+ weeks before your deadline. There’s a 50% surcharge for rush projects (less than a 3-week turnaround), even if I have an opening in my schedule.

Yes! Typically, coaching projects are billed once a month, but there is an option to split each monthly payment in 2.

For editing projects, a 50% deposit is due when the project is booked, but we can split the remaining 50% however you’d like. Just note that the project must be paid in full before I release your final files.

Totally understandable! I’d recommend starting with a Mini Coaching Session. After filling out a detailed questionnaire about your project, we’ll get on a 60-minute video (or phone if that’s your preference) call to help you work through whatever issues you’re having. This will help get you back to making progress on your work in progress, give you a taste of what coaching with me is like, and help you decide if you want to commit to more.

For coaching, I only work with nonfiction projects (for now). Specifically, I love to coach personal development, self-help, spirituality, business, and memoir-ish books. For editing, I’m open to all nonfiction and adult & YA fiction. I don’t work with children’s books or poetry.

Nope! We can do regular old phone calls for every session if you want, or an audio-only web conference call. (I actually don’t use Zoom; I use Whereby, a browser-based alternative.)

While I primarily work with Brown, Black, and otherwise melanated folks, I am totally open to working with allies, too! What does an ally look like? You are actively anti-racist, you agree that white privilege exists, you understand that racism is systemic, you agree that Black Lives Matter (just to name a few things).
