Stories and Tellings

I offer a variety of services, generally focusing on the written word. Below are some examples, though this is not an exhaustive list; if there is something else you need to help tell your story, please contact me and we can discuss what the process might involve.

I offer:

  • Original Written Content (Short stories, flash fictions, song lyrics, etc.)

  • Line and Copy Editing (Student papers included as a separate service)

  • Query Workshopping for Submitting Manuscripts

  • Consultation for Tabletop Role Playing Games (Journey development, Game Master/Player training, system creation, setting creation, etc.)

  • Voice Acting (Characters, not commercial)

  • Tutoring

When you contact me, there will be an initial process of discussing your vision, along with your specific needs and concerns. During this time, I may also need to review any existing content to determine the level of work required. From these elements, I will give you a quote, as well as the predicted course for the project; no money will be due until agreements are drafted and signed.

Some of the services I offer have notoriously large price tags in the industry as a whole; if you are unsure of what you can afford, contact me anyway—if possible, I will negotiate my rates to match your budget. There are many voices in the world that need to be heard, and face certain barriers that the privileged do not. I have been helped by many, many people during my career, and I’ll be damned if I don’t pay that forward. In general, I’ll happily extend discounts to:

-Marginalized voices

-People with low income

-Students

-Children and Young Adults (Under 18)

-Humanitarian Nonprofits

This is not an exhaustive list. Please do not ask for a discount if you don’t need one; otherwise, I may no longer be able to offer lower rates to those that can’t afford otherwise.
