Jenny now helps thousands of people #getdecluttered
After weeks of “solo editing” she felt confused–like she could no longer tell what was good and what needed work. The StoryBloom package helped Jenny get revising and return her polished manuscript back to her university press.
Jenny’s book, Decluttered, is now widely available!
“Allie saved my book. Her support, insightfulness and talent were everything I needed.”

FAQs
How does the editing process work?
First, for big-picture editing packages, I read your draft for clarity and understanding. Then I read it again and begin to pinpoint where your story needs revision around pacing, plot, stakes, imagery, and characterization. I add this directly to your draft, usually via comments in a shared Google Doc or Word document.
On follow-up calls, we discuss suggested edits and address any questions. That way you feel clear and confident moving forward.
What’s the difference between types of editing?
This is more for me to consider after I learn about your goals. Most people want a combination of editing styles.*
Developmental editing often focuses on how effectively your story uses craft elements like plot, pacing, conflict, characterization, and stakes. Copyediting focuses on the mechanics of language and considers elements like flow, syntax, tone, and grammar.
My mentorship style combines deep listening, personalized craft lessons, and ample “live” editing and brainstorming time together.
Note: I do not copy edit or proofread manuscripts if they need significant developmental work or restructuring first.
What is your typical turnaround time?
I create custom editing timelines that require a minimum of a six-week commitment. This allows for a realistic editing pace and an altogether energizing experience, with ample time for guidance sessions and feedback.
How much does the StoryBloom package cost?
This is a plush package where your creativity and stories become my #1 priority to nurture and grow. Package begins at $1,750 per month.
To establish the exact cost, I consider factors such as:
Number and length of 1:1 guidance calls.
Total word count for your monthly submissions.
Estimated number of project hours this will take me and my team to complete.
Add-on services such as craft lessons and private consultations with my team.
How do I request a quote ?
The best way is to contact me. Once I learn about your project, I can give you a better estimate.
