I HAVE A DRAFT
For writers who know their story isn’t ready, yet |
You’ve invested time, heart, and energy into your manuscript. But you can feel it: something’s off. Maybe the pacing drags. Maybe the characters don’t leap off the page. Maybe you can’t see it anymore because you’re too close to the work.
This is where I step in. My job is to see the story from both the reader’s and the publisher’s perspective and identifying what’s missing, what’s in the way, and what will make it irresistible. |

Developmental Editing
[Book A Free Consult] |
Turn your draft into a story that hits hard and holds attention.
I’ll break down your manuscript scene by scene, strengthening structure, tightening arcs, and ensuring the emotional beats land exactly where they should. You’ll get a full written report, margin notes, and an actionable plan to bring your book to its full potential.
“Thomas has honed 140 pages of a raw feature film script... into a highly polished, production length and ready screenplay.” – Michael Domino |
Line Editing
[Book A Free Consult] |
Polish your prose without losing your voice.
This is where style, rhythm, and flow are perfected. Every sentence receives attention and is refined for clarity, tone, and readability. I'll ensure the logical narrative movement is present throughout, all while keeping your voice intact but sharper, cleaner, and more compelling. |
Beta Reading + Feedback Report
[Get Feedback Now] |
An honest, professional reader’s-eye view.
I’ll read your book as a target audience member would, but with a professional’s insight. You’ll get a concise, clear feedback report covering what’s working, what isn’t, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement are hiding. |
I HAVE AN IDEA
For writers who are ready to start, but need direction. |
A blank page is the hardest place to be. The good news? You don’t need to face it alone. Whether you’ve got a rough premise or a half-formed world, I’ll help you shape it into something solid, so writing becomes the easy part. |
|
Story Outlining
[Start My Outline] |
From “vague idea” to “fully outlined narrative.”
We’ll work together to develop your story’s premise, characters, arcs, and scene structure. You’ll leave with a clear, scene-by-scene plan tailored to your voice, your pacing, and your goals.
“He is the most talented, funny, comprehensively knowledgeable, easy to work with, patient, organized, efficient, trustworthy, cost reasonable professional I know...” – Audrey St. James |
Mentorship
[Book A Mentorship Call] |
Guidance, accountability, and craft coaching.
Regular one-on-one sessions where we work on your project, skill set, and process. You’ll get honest feedback, practical instruction, and a clear path forward every step of the way. |
Worldbuilding
& Improving Your Craft
[Build My World] |
Create worlds readers can live in & bring them to life.
From maps and cultures to histories and magic systems, we’ll make sure your world feels immersive and consistent; whether for one book or a multi-volume series.
For those trying to improve their craft, we'll have one-on-one sessions where I help you analyze your writing, give you exercises, and show you where your strengths are and where you need adjusting. |
I NEED IT WRITTEN
For those who have the vision, but not the time (or desire) to write it themselves. |
You know the story you want told, but it's not showing up on the page. I can take your concept or loose idea, research your subject, and craft a manuscript that sounds like you wrote it yourself. |
|
Ghostwriting
[Discuss My Project] |
Your story. My pen.
From initial concept discussions to final draft, I’ll handle the writing while keeping your voice, tone, and intent intact. Fiction, non-fiction, scripts, if it’s words, I can build it. |
Adaptations
[Start My Adaptation] |
turn your novel into a screenplay, or your screenplay into a novel.
I’ll adapt your work to the new medium while preserving its heart, pacing, and key beats. Perfect for cross-media storytelling or pitching in different markets. |
Project Development
& Film or Novel Pitch Decks
[Develop My Project] |
From idea to market-ready pitch.
I’ll refine your concept, identify your audience, and shape it into a professional proposal, complete with logline, synopsis, and sample pages. |
