Overview
With my editing I help writers show their vulnerabilities through stories. My poetry critique looks for the flow of the poem, sees if there are any holes in the story, if any pieces are too similar or sticks out from the others, etc. My editing rounds are interactive. In between editing rounds I send the notes to you to work on.
By the end of the editing session your poetry book will be stronger with emotion and tight with grammar. I'll gift you with a personalized editing checklist. It will help you know what to ask yourself to improve your writing. You’ll take what you’ve learned and apply it to future poems and books.

I provide three rounds of editing. Along with grammar and punctuation I look at the structure of the manuscript. That includes looking at the individual poem and the flow of the whole collection. By structure I mean looking at where the line breaks and punctuation should be placed. If the poems don’t have a strong impact I’ll suggest rearranging lines and stanzas. I also ask specific questions for the whole to show emotion and tell the whole story. Lastly, I brainstorm creative titles.
