Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer an array of editing services that help an Author-in-Flight shape the main pieces of their writing, such as a Kindling Report (Editorial Assessment), an Ember Reader Review (Beta Reading), a Flightpath (Writing Coaching), a Silent Wing Storycraft (Ghostwriting), and an Ash & Quill Query Letter for when you are ready to show off their work to agents and publishers.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through my Contact Form, my email, or any of my social media platforms—I’ll walk you through the following steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Yes! I can do a free 1,000-word sample edit. Please let me know when you submit a Contact Form. The sample edit must be of the submitted manuscript.

  • I charge per word, but I offer flexible pricing based on project type, budget, and complexity. After an initial conversation, I’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.

  • That depends on the length and complexity of your manuscript and the type of service you are looking for. It can range from just a few days if the manuscript is a short story or essay to a month if it is a novel or novella.

  • There are a few things. As nerdy POC, with interests outside the norm, I embrace unique experiences and individuality.

    I am also constantly studying my craft, so all the lessons will be fresh in my head, and I can effectively apply them to your project.

    I’m flexible and happy to adjust my approach to fit your style, offering professional-quality edits at a more accessible rate.

    I actively seek feedback to improve with every project, and I genuinely love shaping words and making ideas clearer.

    I respect the writer’s voice and protect it fiercely. And ultimately, my goal is to make you a stronger writer, not just fix one document.

  • It’s collaborative, honest, and full of silly pop culture references! I’m here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • It is what you will be when you collaborate with me! JSM Rebirth Editing’s logo and theming is a phoenix, mythical fire bird, which often times represents growth, shedding the old with the new. You are an author flying in a blazing pursuit of creating a stronger manuscript and becoming your best self as a write.
