Manuscript to Market

For writers who want more than an edit.

This is not a one-off edit. This is ongoing, hands-on, personalized support to help you prepare your manuscript for the path you choose: indie or traditional.

You'll have a trusted ally in your corner throughout the process, someone who knows your book, your goals, and the standards of the publishing landscape.

This is a high-commitment, high-support working relationship.

Only a few writers are selected so I can focus on helping you achieve your writing dreams.

As an M2M Author, you'll work with someone who knows your book inside and out, and will receive:

Editorial guidance at every stage
A custom roadmap so you know what to do and when to do it
Monthly strategy sessions to keep your project on track
Developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading included when the manuscript is ready
Support with your publication path: query package, agent strategy, metadata, positioning, or self-publishing steps
Priority access for questions, page reviews, and troubleshooting
Someone to help you avoid overwhelm and second guessing

What makes Manuscript to Market different?

You will not be left alone after an edit.

Most writers receive pages back, feel overwhelmed, and stall. Here, you have support through every stage until the manuscript is ready.

You will get clear, structured next steps.

No more guessing what to prioritize. You'll always know what to work on and why it matters.

You will understand the publishing process and make decisions confidently.

Whether you choose indie or traditional, you'll receive guidance to move forward with clarity.

This is a small, selective program.

I only accept a limited number of clients at a time to deliver high-touch, meaningful support.

How it works:

Apply during an open window
If accepted, we begin with a kickoff call to assess your manuscript status, challenges, and goals
Each month we focus on your next set of priorities
When your manuscript is ready, developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading are included
You'll finish with a polished, confidently-positioned manuscript, and clear publishing plan/materials

This program is for writers who:

Want structure, accountability, and clarity
Want a trusted ally, not multiple separate hires
Want to understand the publishing process, not guess
Are actively working toward completing a novel within 6–12 months

It is not right for writers who want a quick, one-pass edit or who don't have time to revise regularly.

Program fee will be shared with applicants during the application process.

Application window:

December 1 – December 31, 2025

Next window opens Spring 2026

If accepted, you'll receive onboarding details and we'll schedule your kick-off call.

I can't wait to read your application!
