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.
I also offer high-level reads, which provide concise, general feedback. Contact for pricing.
-
Line edits (if applicable) and comprehensive narrative feedback on structure, plot, themes, character development, and pacing.
-
These one-on-one video sessions enhance your technical skills by diving deep into your writing feedback. Our conversation nurture your authentic voice and strengthen your creative vision, so that you leave feeling confident about your personal approach to storytelling and your identity as a writer.
Once we decide to work together, I provide a free, 20-minute consultation to meet you and get a feel for your project. We map out a schedule, and afterward 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. High-level reads include a concise assessment via email.
