One-On-One Workshopping
Not ready to go all-in on a developmental edit? One-on-one workshopping mixes critique, editing, suggestions on your writing technique, and other general feedback. It's perfect for those looking for a collaborative experience that will not only help polish sections of their work but also improve their skills as a writer.
How It Works
Here's how I'll help you shape your work and improve as a writer:
-
I'll read through your short story, chapter/section (up to 5,000 words per session).
-
I'll provide light edits and marginal comments as I go, including suggestions, questions, and explanations about why an edit is correct or recommended (style and grammar facts, y'all!).
-
When appropriate, I'll include recommended reading or other resources to help you elevate your skills as a writer and to help you in future revisions.
-
Depending on which feedback style you choose, I'll either provide a short letter summarizing my impressions of your work or we'll meet to chat about my feedback and give you space for questions.
-
If you want to continue revising and getting feedback on a single piece or excerpt, or if you would like to work on multiple short pieces or issues, we can book multiple sessions (see bundle options).
Not sure you are ready for me to read your work just yet or looking for a more casual convo? Consider a virtual craft chat instead.
I provide one-on-one workshopping to a limited number of writers at one time to ensure my availability and attention as we work to transform their writing. If you'd like to work together one-on-one, don't wait too long to reach out!

Just a note...
I don’t recommend that we workshop more than 5,000 words of a single manuscript at a time. The idea is to identify issues and give space and energy toward revising and learning from that section. If you are looking to revise a larger piece, I suggest considering my developmental editing services or a workshop bundle that will allow for us to address multiple sections of your work across multiple sessions.
