Chris is a thoughtful and experienced developmental editor who brought clarity, structure, and insight to my manuscript. His feedback was constructive and well-paced, helping me strengthen the story while staying true to my voice. I’d recommend him to any author looking to refine their work with care and professionalism.

Wow — this feedback from my most recent editing client is so rewarding to receive. If you ever wonder whether it’s worthwhile to provide a generous and thoughtful review, survey response, etc., just know that there’s often someone on the othe end who will be thrilled to receive it.

And if you’re interested in developmental editing or book coaching from me, there’s more information about that here.

With 25 books already out in the world and more on the way, and with hundreds of schools visited in support of those books, I’ve learned a lot about connecting with kids on the page and from the stage.

I’m still learning, but I’m also happy to share what I’ve figured out so far. That’s why I offer one-on-one consulting to other writers about researching, drafting, revising, submitting, promoting, and visiting schools to make presentations about their own books!

What better time for you and me to work together than… right now?

My services run the gamut from research advice to manuscript critiques to help with adapting published books into engaging presentations for an array of audience ages.

If you’re interested, the best first step is just to get in touch either right here through my website or via the Reedsy platform and let me know more about what you’re looking for.

I love the opportunities I’ve had to advise other writers, and I’m looking forward to helping you, too!
