Writing a book
is blasted hard sometimes
You don’t need me to tell you that. Some days the muse behaves, and the words pour out of you.
Other days your muse scowls, gives you three words in three hours, and stalks off to bitch about you to their muse friends.
Sometimes, you can’t seem to get started at all. Or you can only write in tiny bits between your day job, or family commitments.
I developed my editing + accountability packages to help writers who are still in the weeds and need some help getting out.
Do you need a fellow word wrangler in your corner?
Editing + accountability is for you if:
You can’t seem to get started
You’ve started, but it feels like carrying the One Ring up Mount Doom
You’re struggling with time management, confidence, or staying focused
You keep getting stuck on That One Point and not making progress
You love your book but you’re still struggling to get the words down
Writing can be lonely
Your non-writer friends and family don’t understand what you’re doing, or why.
They don’t understand what it feels like when your characters won’t behave, or the outline makes as much sense as a jigsaw with most of the pieces missing.
I understand. As an editor, I help my clients with plot and character wrangles all the time. As a writer, I know what it’s like.
Together we’ll get your book into the world.
How does it work?
We can have a one-off session, or get together regularly. Sometimes talking to a fellow word wrangler is what you need to get unstuck. With editing + accountability, you get to workshop ideas and solutions with someone who gets it. It’s the practical help and encouragement you need to get you unstuck.
After every session you’ll receive a list of agreed upon goals and action points. I also provide editorial feedback before sessions.

Let’s keep it simple
I know you don’t want to be locked in to long contracts. Maybe you’ve even been burned by that kind of thing before.
With each package, you pay a monthly fee at the start of your month (month periods can start anywhere, not just on the 1st of the month.) I don’t offer “discounts” for paying ahead then price gouge you if you want to spread payments. You pay a month at a time and if you don’t want to keep going for the next month, that’s ok.
When you pay for a month of editing + accountability, you’re paying to book out time on my calendar. As such, I can’t offer refunds. However you are allowed to roll your session forward twice if need be.
If you’re rolling forward regularly it’s time to revisit whether this is the right path for you.
