I offer 1:1 editorial services for very special projects. I must really like you and/or your work because I don’t just edit anyone.
It’s too much work, too much investment.
My editing services are for the writers and storytellers seeking to grow and succeed on and off the page.
The ones who believe in magic and shit and receptiveness.
Writer is to editor as producer is to musician.
Let’s make music together.
Here’s what that looks like:
Honeyknife Editorial Studio
For writers with vision, depth, and a voice that won’t be tamed
I work with a community of BIPOC, women, queer, first-gen, and unconventional writers who are done with the cookie-cutter stories the world thinks they should be telling. You’re here because you know your voice is too important to be smothered by anyone else’s idea of what your work should be. Whether you’re writing about reclaiming your identity, rewriting your history, or channeling your inner witch, I see you.
Your story isn’t just a “book” or a “script”—it’s revolution in progress, it’s channeling from the Great Beyond, and I’m here to make sure it’s as powerful, bold, and perfectly you as possible.
Because let’s be real—you don’t need someone who’s just going to “correct” your grammar and call it a day. You need someone who gets that your story deserves to be sharpened, honed, and amplified to its fullest potential. I’ll give you feedback that’s real, constructive, and actually useful, not just some generic advice that reads like it was pulled off an Instagram listicle.
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” —Toni Morrison
This guiding principle, from Toni Morrison’s profound words to her legacy as an editor, inspires everything I do. Like Morrison, I believe that editing is an act of love—of listening to a story’s unique rhythm, strengthening its core, and guiding it with care until it speaks as loudly as it deserves.
You’ve written something really special—a story that’ll make people uncomfortable, get people thinking, and maybe even get you a side-eye or two. You’re not here to blend in. You’re here to make waves, shatter norms, and, if we’re being honest, probably piss some people off. And honestly? I’m here for it. Here’s how…
Manuscript Review
(For initial drafts)
Rate: $.05 per word
For drafts in early stages, I’ll provide a high-level review of narrative flow, character development, pacing, and thematic consistency. This includes an 8-10 page summary of actionable feedback that empowers you to bring your story to the next level.
Full Developmental Review
(for advanced drafts)
Rate: $.08 per word
For manuscripts closer to completion, I offer an in-depth edit with in-text notes on narrative structure, dialogue, and emotional resonance. My goal is to strengthen every layer, ensuring that your story truly reflects your unique voice. 8-10 page summary included.
Screenplay Services
Rate: $3-5 per page
From plot points to dialogue flow, I offer manuscript reviews for early drafts and full developmental edits for advanced drafts, tailored specifically to the unique needs of screenplay structure and visual storytelling.
Additional Services
Initial Consult and Post-Edit Talk: $165/hour
Rushed Services Available: Additional 20%
The Process
Each edit begins with a 60-minute consultation to understand your goals, voice, and vision. After completing a manuscript review or full edit, you’ll receive a comprehensive 8-10 page summary with clear, actionable next steps. A post-edit talk provides space for follow up questions and further clarification.
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
Producer is to musician as editor is to writer. My editorial process is designed to amplify and support writers creating bold, unapologetic work. Editing is a form of stewardship, bringing forth the voices that need to be heard.
Your manuscript or screenplay is more than words on a page—it’s part of a larger movement towards healing, freedom, and representation. As a fellow writer (Honey Is the Knife) and a cultivator of community (The Lit Club), I offer a partnership dedicated to transforming your rough draft into a polished, powerful manuscript or screenplay that’s ready to speak to the world.
