So, You’ve Got a Book…
Maybe your draft’s held together by caffeine and wild hope. Maybe it’s polished to a shine, but you’re too close to see the cracks. Or maybe it’s somewhere in between: beautiful, chaotic, and whispering, “Help me.”
That’s where I come in.
I’m Tee, an editor and acquisitions professional with more than fifteen years in publishing. Whether you need big-picture feedback, sentence-level polish, or help getting your submission package ready for agents, I’ll meet the book where it is and help you figure out what it needs next.
Not sure where to start? Send me an email. We’ll figure it out.
*To maintain my editorial standards, I do not edit AI-written manuscripts or use AI tools in the editing process.*
Not Ready for a Full Edit?
You don’t always need a full manuscript edit. Sometimes you need a professional set of eyes on the pages that matter most.
First 10 Pages — $95
Editorial review of your opening ten manuscript pages, with in-manuscript comments and focused feedback on hook, character, pacing, clarity, voice, and what may be keeping the opening from working.
First 25 Pages — $175
A deeper review of your opening pages, including in-manuscript comments and an editorial assessment of what’s working, what isn’t, and what I’d address before revising the rest of the manuscript.
Query + First 10 Pages — $195
A query-letter critique paired with an editorial review of your opening pages, with special attention to whether the manuscript delivers on the promise of the pitch.
The Submission Package — $325
Query letter + synopsis + first 10 pages
A comprehensive review of the materials an agent sees first, with feedback designed to make the pitch and manuscript opening work together as one strong submission package.
