Ongoing Support

Retainer Plans

If you have a regular content schedule or ongoing needs, a retainer is the right way to go. Priority turnaround, predictable hours, and a partner who already knows your voice.

Tier 1

The Revise & Shine Retainer

“I keep falling behind on content, and it’s always the thing that slips.”

Consistent content support — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

From $[X]/month
Billed monthly · 3-month minimum

Best for solopreneurs and small business owners with a steady but manageable content cadence — newsletters, social posts, blog content, light formatting, and the occasional deck or document that needs to look right before it goes out. You get a dedicated set of monthly hours, a strategy call, and priority turnaround — so your content never sits in a queue.

What’s included

  • Defined monthly hours allocation
  • Editing — copy, line, and proofreading
  • Light formatting (documents, social, newsletters)
  • Template maintenance & brand consistency
  • Monthly strategy call
  • Priority turnaround
  • AI draft refinement included

Tier 2

The Content Partner Retainer

“I need a content lead — I just can’t hire one full-time.”

A fractional content director — strategy, execution, and content operations.

From $[X]/month
Billed monthly · 3-month minimum

For business owners and teams running active content operations across multiple channels. This is the full picture — all four pillars (editing, formatting, publishing, content management) plus writer coordination, editorial workflow, and CMS oversight. Think of it as bringing on a content department — without the salary, benefits, or desk space. (Your content engine, that is — not your invoicing or back-office systems.)

Everything in Tier 1, plus

  • Full editing suite — developmental through proofreading
  • Multi-platform publishing and scheduling
  • SEO optimization and performance reporting
  • Writer coordination and mentoring
  • Content workflow and CMS management
  • Editorial process and documentation
  • Bi-weekly strategy calls

For Authors

Manuscript Editing

Your manuscript deserves more than a spell-check. Whether you’re preparing a submission, heading to self-publishing, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet you where you are and get your work across the finish line.

Authors · fiction & nonfiction

Manuscript editing

Your manuscript in expert hands—from rough draft to submission-ready.

Per project / per word
Minimum project fee: $[X]

I’ve edited 19 full-length manuscripts across fiction and nonfiction—mystery, crime, fantasy, romance, historical fiction, and memoir, primarily for adult readers, with some YA and middle-grade work. Two novels I edited sold to Hollywood studios.

Pricing follows Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) guidelines, a professional standard authors can verify independently. Rates vary by service type and manuscript length; all projects begin with a sample edit and consultation.

“My favorite projects are the ones that aren’t easy to categorize, and every manuscript is unique.”
