Do you need a second set of eyes to look over your draft? Are you overthinking the phrasing of a sentence? (Been there.) I’m here to help!
The Head-Scratcher 🤷🏽♀️
Are you five drafts in and stuck on a problem? Is the vibe just…off? I’m here to help!
The Deep Dive 🔍
Do you have an idea and need help expanding on it? Or, do you have a solid draft that you would like help thoroughly editing? The "Deep Dive" is a comprehensive editorial experience where we start with the big-picture ideas and work down to the details.
Writing is a delightful and frustrating enterprise. You deserve an editor who supports your vision and goals with heart.

Good question!
In high school, I had a teacher who said every piece of writing is just a draft. The writer decides when it is the final draft.
As an editor, my job is to assist with the perpetual penultimate draft. (After all, who doesn't have a "Final Draft 3" that becomes "Final Draft 20" a few days later?) As the writer, you decide when it's final.
Also, I recently listened to The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott about Season 2, Episode 9, and they began the episode with a short aside about the word penultimate. The word got stuck in my head!
