The Whole Manuscript – Full Book Intensive
This is where your book gets the attention it deserves—page by page, line by line. I’ll work through your full manuscript with a deep editorial focus to refine structure, strengthen voice, and elevate the writing into its best possible form.
“In my view, the more literary the book — the more purely verbal, crafted sentence by sentence, the more imaginative, reasoned, and deep — the more likely people are to read it.” — Annie Dillard, The Writing Life
What This Includes
Who This is For
Writers who have completed at least the “Unearthing” workshop with me, have finalized their entire draft to the best of their current abilities, and are ready to collaborate in shaping a manuscript that reflects the story's true heart with precision and beauty.
Published Works I've Edited: I Didn't Want To Either, by Cody Qureshi
A special thank you to my editor Terra Elan McVoy, who deserves her own paragraph. (Or perhaps her own chapter.) Terra cheered me on when I needed encouragement, taught me about the writing process when I was scratching my head, and gently told me when things I wrote had, well, sucked and needed improvement. She has become my role model for what a writer should be, and I'm half-debating writing another book just for the pleasure of working with her again. Thank you, Terra, for making me a better writer and for believing in this project with me.
