The Method

From first note to finished book.

Every project is different, but here's the path most books take through the studio.

  1. 01

    Inquiry

    You request a Discovery Session and fill out the short questionnaire. I reply within a few working days.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
