Contact margo.e.lapierre at gmail.com for pricing. Send a brief description of the project along with a word count. I offer thorough and flexible editing options.
My goal as an editor is to help you fully realize the possibilities of your writing, and to help your work make as big an impact as possible.
I adapt my approach to the voice and style of the author. By acknowledging the strengths of the writing and providing concrete and creative potential solutions to areas of concern, I follow up my editing with a Zoom consultation and then provide my clients with a clear action plan for their manuscript revision.
I am happy to provide a quote prior to reading (for which a word count is required). I specialize in structural/substantive editing of literary fiction.
In my private practice, I have edited manuscripts for esteemed and award-winning authors, among them Laurie Lico Albanese, author of Hester; Anne Burt, author of The Dig; Lisa Gornick, author of Ana Turns and Louisa Meets Bear; Kate Manning, author of Gilded Mountain and My Notorious Life; Shira Nayman, author of Shoreline, River and Awake in the Dark; Wayne Ng, author of Johnny Delivers and The Family Code; Tom Stewart, author of Immortal North; and Jaime Watt, author of What I Wish I Said: Confessions of a Columnist.
