MANUSCRIPT
Do you have a collection of poems that you are preparing to submit to a publisher? Do you need help with manuscript organization, line or copy edits for multiple pieces, or stylistic advice about pace, voice, or theme? I can work with you to arrange a cohesive and compelling collection of any length.
I offer two flat-rate packages for poets whose work will benefit from these later stage edits. For manuscripts of 15-35 pages, $250 CAD. For manuscripts of 36-75 pages, $500. If you are a poet just starting out, with few or no publication credits, it will probably be in your best interest to start with my 3-5 Poems service.
3-5 POEMS
Do you have a few poems that need editorial suggestions and feedback? Are you looking for copy and line edits to polish your work before submitting to a journal or contest? Are you just starting out and want to know some tips and tricks to edit your own poetry? I can help you identify the strengths in your poems, and how to revise what still needs work.
I offer a flat-rate service for a packet of up to 5 poems (10 page maximum) for $100 CAD.
LAYOUT & DESIGN
Do you have a collection of poems that you would like to self-publish but need assistance or advice with layout and design? I can help create visual cohesion, stylistic cues, and a cover that begins to sing the story of your work before the first page.
I offer a flat-rate service for interior and cover design for $250 CAD.

Email with your project selection, and your work attached as a .doc file. I will be in touch with information about how to pay, project turnaround times, and what to expect from working with me. I look forward to hearing how I might help you!
