Work With Lisa

Hire Me!

I love to work with writers! Whether you work in fiction or nonfiction (or another genre/form), we can work together to move your project/writing to the next level, including:

• teaching/conferences/workshops

• editing and evaluation of a manuscript draft

• bringing your partially completed writing ideas and projects to the finish line

• getting started on something new

• moving from stuck to unstuck

• developing and deepening your writing craft

• tackling revisions (and figuring out what to revise in the first place)

• brainstorming what to do with a piece of writing or a new project idea when you just don’t know what to do

• putting the final polish on a completed work and make it submission-ready

• editing/revising query letters to agents

• creating/editing a synopsis, chapter summaries, overview of book-length manuscripts

• developing/editing nonfiction book proposals

• critiquing/developing MFA applications: portfolios and statement of purpose

• developing a submission strategy for short pieces (pitch/cover letters and target lists for literary or mainstream venues), and for big projects (agent/publisher target lists)

• ghostwriting (short or long works)

• collaborating on a large undertaking

• editing of accepted works for your magazine, literary journal, or website

• anthology compilation, submissions, editing

As a working writer myself, I hate to see other writers waste time or money. So, if I'm not a good match for your project or needs, I'll say so, and if possible, refer you on to someone else.

To find out, we first talk. There's never a fee for an initial phone consultation. Start the conversation by sending me an email.
