We believe editors should uplift a writer's unique voice, not alter it to fit their own style. Our feedback aims to ask questions and provide insights that help you refine and perfect your work.


We accept creative nonfiction pieces up to 4000 words.
 

What's included: 

  • Line edits related to macro-level elements of the text such as voice, structure, themes, and clarity. These in-line edits are intended to provide feedback on big-picture developmental edits for the story as they arise in the text.
  • A 2-page editorial letter focusing on developmental edits, questions, and suggestions
  • A one-on-one 60 minute Zoom meeting to discuss the written feedback and any related questions the writer might have.
  • A specifically curated list of prompts, recommended reading, and listening to support the writer in developing their work.
  • One email exchange for any follow-up questions.
