Jaime’s feedback definitely exceeded my expectations. She gave detailed and high quality feedback on my script’s plot, characterization, dialogue, and setting, and addressed specific questions I had about my script. She has a great ear for dialogue and sense for character motivation.

I also appreciated how she offered suggestions to address the challenges she identified, but she never presented these in a domineering way. She let the story always feel like mine. However, I actually am just finishing a major edit based on a couple of her ideas to strengthen the characters and make the mystery in my murder mystery more challenging, and appealing, to solve.

I’ve already recommended her to friends working on their own writing projects.

Jamie is a thorough and honest editor. Her feedback shaped my perspective and showed me exactly what my story could use and need. Her insight has proven vital for me.

Beyond her incredible work, she is kind and patient. I found her easy and enjoyable to work with.

I’m so thankful for her time. I cannot recommend her enough. Her price is high, but she’s worth every penny.

Jamie went beyond my expectations. Her edits are amazing. I’ve partnered with her twice and neither time disappointed. My book is polished and it’s all thanks to her. Jamie is amazing!!! As I continue my series she’s gonna be my go-to editor! Highly recommend! 😁

Ghostwriting
Co-Writing

These prices reflect commercial license to monetize and sell. I also require that my name be listed as a co-author/creator; however, this may also be negotiated for an additional ghostwriting fee.
If your story project requires lengthy research or reading prior to starting work, there will be a $35 per hour charge. I perform this research to make the best writing possible.​
Each project includes 1 round of revisions, with changes totaling up to 10% of the project length. Request for revision exceeding 10% may be subject to an additional charge.
My prices reflect years of experience as both a writer and editing professional, decades of schooling, and a deep understanding of the craft. I strive to make every story the very best it can be.
