The Method
From first note to finished book.
Every project is different, but here's the path most books take through the studio.
- 01
Inquiry
You request a Discovery Session and fill out the short questionnaire. I reply within a few working days.
- 02
Sample Review
I read the pages you submitted, considering what level of editing your manuscript may need and whether I'd be a good fit for you. I like to make decisions based on the manuscript itself, not just vibes.
- 03
Discovery Session
We have a relaxed conversation—about thirty to forty-five minutes, free of charge—to discuss your manuscript, your goals for it, and whether we're the right fit.
- 04
Proposal
If we're both ready to move forward, I'll send a written proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, deliverables, and fee. No pressure, just clarity.
- 05
Editorial Work
This is where the real work begins. Whether your manuscript needs developmental guidance, line editing, copyediting, formatting, or a combination, we'll move through each stage thoughtfully, with clear communication and agreed milestones.
- 06
Production
Once the manuscript is ready, I'll prepare the finished files for print, ebook, or both—making sure everything is built to professional publishing standards.
- 07
Proof & Publish
We'll review the printed proof together, make any final corrections, and confirm everything is ready before publication. My goal is to help you release a book you're proud to share with the world.
