Editorial Services

Working on a manuscript and in need of feedback or advice?  Perhaps you have a partial ready to submit or are about to enter a contest. Or maybe you have a story which has been rejected and you're not entirely certain whether to set it aside,  revise it before submitting it elsewhere or self-publish.

​

We all need help from time to time, but assistance from a seasoned professional can seem out of reach, money-wise.

​

Having been where you are now, Trish understands your angst, self-doubt and the importance of doing things within a budget.

For that reason she is now offering reasonably priced editorial services to help you hone your craft, tighten up your writing,  strengthen your characters and polish your finished manuscript before submission or self-publishing.
