Manuscript Consultations

Before diving into an extensive edit or pursuing potentially expensive options for publication, meet with one of our experienced editors to take a step back and look at the big picture.

In this one-on-one consultation, you’ll work with an experienced editor to explore your project’s vision, current status, and long-term goals. Whether you're outlining a new idea, deep in revision, or preparing to pursue publication, this session is designed to help you clarify your next steps and determine the tools and support best suited to your journey. Consultations average $50 per hour and can take place in-person or virtually.

Think of it as your creative mapmaking session—focused, collaborative, and tailored to you.

Creative Connections

Writing can be a solitary act, but building a book rarely is. At the heart of our mission is the belief that creative work flourishes in community—and community can’t be bought.

That’s why we work free of charge to connect authors, editors, illustrators, designers, marketers, and other professionals to each other, encouraging professional collaborations that propel storytellers of all kinds toward their goals. This is more than networking. It's about mutual encouragement, shared wisdom, and a creative ecosystem where we use our unique talents and skillsets to lift each other up.

Whether you're seeking a critique partner, cover artist, beta reader, or just someone who understands the writing life, this space is here to help you find your people.

Expert Editing

Whatever your story, it deserves to be told well. Our editorial services are designed to meet you where you are—whether you're shaping a first draft or putting the finishing touches on a final manuscript.

We offer developmental editing to support structure, pacing, and story cohesion; copyediting to refine sentence-level flow, grammar, and clarity; and proofreading for that final polish before submission or publication. We believe professional editing should be accessible and flexible, which is why our services are available at transparent, competitive rates—without sacrificing quality.

Whether you're preparing to query, self-publish, or simply want your work to shine, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Querying and Promotion

Getting your work into the world takes more than a finished manuscript—it takes strategy, research, and a strong sense of direction.

We help identify literary agents looking for work like yours by building a targeted, intentional submission list. We also provide feedback and help to shape every part of your submission package, from query letters and synopses to author bios and sample pages that meet industry expectations. We will also help walk you through the basics of author branding and book promotion so you can begin connecting with readers, growing your presence, and building the foundation for a successful launch—now or in the future.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining drafts, we’ll work with you to craft materials that reflect your voice and position you to make a strong first impression.
