Manuscript Wishlist
What is a manuscript wishlist?
A manuscript wishlist is a reference of the types of stories I would like to edit. This is a useful tool for you as a writer to determine if we are a good fit. My goal is to give you an idea of the stories I love and the ones that are not for me.
Finding an editor that is right for you is an important decision. Your writing is a business. As you move forward towards publication, it’s important to have people in your corner that are championing your vision for your story. If you don’t see your story on this list, but think that I am a good fit for your project, feel free to submit an inquiry here.
GENRES:
