Stuck on Your Story? Ask the Editor!

Sometimes, all it takes is one question to get your writing moving again.

Maybe you're struggling with a plot hole, unsure about your character's motivation, confused about POV, or wondering why a particular scene just isn't working.

You don't always need a full coaching session or manuscript review. Sometimes, you just need a little guidance from someone who understands storytelling.

That's where Ask the Editor comes in!

For just $25, you can ask me one specific writing-related question and receive a personalized, thoughtful response to help you move forward with confidence.

What's Included?

  • One personalized question: Ask about plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, POV, story structure, or another writing challenge.

  • Expert editorial guidance: I'll personally review your question and provide practical, actionable advice.

  • A written response within 2-3 business days: No appointments or Zoom calls necessary.

  • One brief follow-up: Need clarification on my answer? You can ask one short follow-up question via email.

How It Works

  1. Purchase your Ask an Editor question.

  2. Submit your question using the instructions provided after checkout.

  3. Receive your personalized written response within two business days.

A Few Things to Know

This service is designed for one focused writing question. It does not include manuscript reviews, line editing, proofreading, or extensive developmental feedback.

To ensure every writer receives thoughtful, personalized attention, only five paid question spots are available each week.

If all spots are filled, please check back! New spots become available as I complete existing questions, so you may not have to wait until the following week.

Submitting Your Question

Enter your writing question in the required field at checkout. If you need additional space to explain your situation, feel free to use the optional Message box.

Please limit your submission to one focused writing question. Manuscript excerpts and full scene reviews are not included.
