Let’s collaborate

Over the course of my career, I’ve realized the joy and power of working with editors. It’s like getting a cheat code for improving and improving faster. I bring that experience to you through my editorial services.

When you work with me, I don’t commandeer your project. This is your story, after all. I give you the infrastructure to make your ideas a reality. Maybe that means research or something as hands-on as ghostwriting. I’ll even help you figure out what comes next once you have your finished product in hand.

Writing is collaborative.

Encouragement and action items to move forward

Send me your current draft and I'll evaluate it for story arc, character arc, overall structure, cohesiveness, and strength of your argument, if applicable. I'll let you know if I spot typos or have questions, but this is mostly big picture not sentence-level editing.

Past Clients

The first and most important person who helped shape this book is my incredibly talented researcher, Nora Neus. Nora provided invaluable assistance to me over the course of this project. Her thorough research added important examples, quotes, and factual support for my ideas and proposals.

Nora was much more than a researcher, however. She gave me substantive advice about tone, structure, and content throughout the drafting process. She reviewed every word I wrote, kept the narrative focused, and helped me avoid undue repetition. She encouraged me to add more of my own thoughts and perspectives throughout the book and helped me understand that my personal perspective and experience is the thread that holds these chapters together. I came to trust her judgment and appreciate her thoughtful advice.

Longform Lab Project:

Nora is a joy to work with; she is thoughtful and deliberate about her writing, which I’ve found to be incredibly well-researched, even when it’s fiction. She is also incredibly open to revision, and not afraid to look at her manuscripts from new angles and try new approaches—the best quality one can find in a writer!

-Andrea Colvin, Editorial Director,
Graphic Publishing at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Nora is a brilliant writer and storyteller. I didn't give her much to work with.. but she somehow brought our story to live in a better way then we could have hoped for. Highly recommend!

-Tech start-up CEO; ghostwriting client

Nora's writing was exactly what we needed. Expertly produced with great care and inspiration. We look forward to a future collaboration.
