Developmental Edits & Mentorship

Developmental Edits

For Christian indie authors of romance, historical fiction, historical romance, and women’s fiction who need big-picture story edits with their completed manuscript.

A developmental edit looks at the heart of your completed manuscript—what’s working, what’s missing, and how to strengthen the story’s structure, character arc, tension, pacing, and emotional payoff. My goal is to come alongside you with thoughtful feedback that helps you revise with clarity and confidence. Select shorter fiction projects, such as reader magnets or novellas, are welcome.

Pricing: $0.03 per word
What to expect: You’ll receive a marked manuscript and a detailed editorial letter with big-picture feedback and revision guidance.

Manuscript Assessment

For Christian writers of inspirational romance, historical fiction, historical romance, and women’s fiction who want professional big-picture feedback without a full developmental edit.

A manuscript assessment gives you an overview of your story’s strengths, areas that need attention, and practical next steps for revision. I look at elements such as story structure, character development, pacing, tension, and overall clarity so you can move forward with focus and confidence. You’ll receive a thorough editorial letter with observations and revision guidance to help you prayerfully and practically consider your next steps.

Pricing: $225–$325, depending on manuscript length
What to expect: You’ll receive an editorial letter outlining strengths, concerns, and suggested next steps for revision.

One-on-One Mentorship

For Christian writers of clean and inspirational fiction who want focused support for their writing journey. Mentorship sessions are designed to help you work through craft questions, manuscript issues, and career direction with clarity, encouragement, and honest feedback.

Single Mentorship Session

A one-time session for the writer who needs a trusted sounding board and clear next-step guidance. Consider a single mentorship session if you’re working through a specific issue—such as responding to an R&R, untangling a query or proposal problem, addressing a stuck plot point, or talking through a manuscript or career question without committing to longer-term support. You’ll leave with thoughtful feedback, encouragement, and practical direction for your next step.

Pricing: $50 per hour
What to expect: We’ll meet for one focused session and talk through one key issue so you leave with clarity and direction.

3-Session Mentorship Package

This 3-session package is designed for those who need more than a quick sounding board, but aren’t yet ready for a manuscript assessment or a developmental edit. Over six weeks, we’ll focus on the craft and/or story issues keeping you stuck—whether that’s structure, character arc, pacing, tension, or overall story clarity. This package offers space to ask questions, apply feedback, and return for follow-up support so you can make steady progress with greater confidence and direction.

Pricing: $210 total
What to expect: Over three sessions in six weeks, we’ll identify your key challenges, work through solutions, and build momentum for your next steps.


If you think we may be a good fit, I’d love to hear a little about you, your project, and the kind of help you’re looking for. Because availability is limited each month, I review each inquiry carefully to make sure I can serve you well.
