Writing Consultations

I offer manuscript editing & consultation for manuscripts and individual poems.

I have taught poetry workshops and advised poets on their poems and manuscripts for over two decades. I have guided poems and manuscripts from rough drafts, extensive revision, and into publication.

Process

  • Complete the inquiry form below.

  • I’ll review your request and will get back to you with a quote and instructions for next steps. If I’m not a good fit for your consultation, I’ll let you know via email.

Individual Poems

  • All consultations include annotations and comments (specific and general) in MS word, plus an email from me with overall thoughts and feedback

  • Single Poem Consultation: $75.00 (up to one page in length. If your poems are short then I can consult on two poems for this price)

  • Folio (up to six poems): Starting at $400, depending on length

Poetry Manuscripts

In response to your full-length manuscript, you will receive extensive, individualized, notes, including:

  • Detailed comments and line edits on individual poems

  • Feedback about structure and order of poems

  • Feedback and suggestions for titles (of the manuscript, any sections, and individual poems)

  • Evaluation of poems and their inclusion in the manuscript

  • Optional manuscript discussion to be conducted via email, phone, or Zoom

  • Manuscript consultation: Starting at $650, depending on length
