Coaching & Editing Services
I take a holistic approach to working with writers based on 15+ years of experience to define what’s best for you and your project.
Whether you have an idea, notes, outline, or chapters that you’d like to flesh out into a book or full manuscript you’d like to get ready for publication, my compassionate, in-depth feedback will help you achieve your writing goals.
Sarah is a writer's writer––and a writer's dream editor. She brings a macro-big picture lens to your writing with an editor's laser precision that will make a rough draft sing. Sarah can see the forest AND the trees.

Skills & Services
I refine your work to craft authentic stories that move readers and attract publishers. I work in fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir.
-
An overall assessment of your manuscript with suggestions for improvement. I work closely with clients to understand their vision and provide detailed, personalized feedback.

Line edits (if applicable) and comprehensive feedback on structure, plot, character development, and pacing.
-
These one-on-one video sessions go beyond enhancing your technical skills; they nurture your authentic voice and strengthen your creative vision, fostering a deeply personal approach to storytelling and cementing your identity as a writer.
Once we decide to work together, I provide a free, 30-minute consultation to meet you and get a feel for your project. We map out a sechule, and aferward I email you and invoice that can be paid in parts or in full. After paying, you email me your pages as a Word document attachment (double-spaced, 12-point font, numbered pages), and I get working!
How it Works
I provide line edits based on the manuscript’s level of completion. I also provide an in-depth letter that elaborates my feedback, provides big-picture notes, and details next steps. I recommend at least one craft coaching video session (or more, based on the size of the project) to go over the feedback and answer your questions.
