I created this space for fiction writers who are close to done—and want their work handled with care before it meets its readers.

Here, I write about editing, voice, and what actually matters in the final stages of preparing a manuscript for publication. If you’re looking for encouragement to start writing, this isn’t that place. If you’re looking for clarity around the final steps before publication, you’re in the right one.
