"The desert has a raw poetry that peels
back the visitor’s skin, exposing shimmering bone and
raw sinew until, finally, there is nothing else."
-Kiva Rose Hardin
Our writing is deeply personal and often sensitive to us – if you are looking for a compassionate but highly attentive and experienced editor, consider working with me. Do you have a single poem or essay that you’ve submitted over and over again, but you can’t seem to get it picked up? Are you working on a manuscript and needing support to think through its themes and structure? Are you caught midway through your novel and are not sure where to go next? Through a blend of detailed editorial notes and individual meetings, I am ready to support you in raising the heat on your current project.
Editorial services include:
-Poetry folios of 1-15 pages (minimum rate: $50)
-Chapbook projects up to 32 pages (minimum rate: $150)
-Book-length projects over 48 pages (minimum rate: $250)
-Content and copy revisions to an existing full-length manuscript (minimum rate: $300)
-Essay and prose pieces up to 80 pages (minimum rate: $150)
Sliding scale rates to be discussed at the point of contact.

Editorial statement:
I am looking for where you are strongest as a writer and/or poet and will work with you to ensure that strength is felt through & through. After our time together discussing your work, you will leave with a better understanding of your own personal toolkit and vocal cadence as a writer. I am currently the Managing Poetry Editor for the award-winning LGBTQ magazine Foglifter Press, creator of the Black queer poetry workshop Litany!, and I have served on Individual Artist Grant committees in both San Francisco and Berkeley. I understand why you must write. I understand how important your work is to you. I understand what editors look for. My knowledge from each of these artistic experiences, as well as from my own writing, is ready to be put to good use. Sound good? Contact me!
