I think people who are confidently predicting a civil war are having the "bravely die fighting fascism" fantasy, whereas I'm having the "me and my grade-school-age daughter are dragged out of the house in the middle of the night and executed because we live in farm country" fantasy

"only monsters play god" is top tier trans content. I'm the doctor, I'm the monster. that's me, that's my guy.

Developmental Editing
with wim
What is Developmental Editing?
Developmental editing is the transformation of a draft into a solid, submission ready, display of craft. Through open discourse and detailed, explicated notation, we’ll solidify your intention, address existing narrativistic and linguistic challenges, and get you, and your project, on the right path. My approach is writer first, then the writing. It is my belief that we become better craftspeople when offered a challenge where our selves and our projects are safely held.
What you can expect:
A general assessment of your project in its current condition
Comprehensive line edits of representative passages and/or poems that best illustrate my thoughts about tone, clarity, voice, pacing, and/or direction accompanied by detailed, explicated suggestions of possible change
Follow up assessment of reworked material, and availability via email for questions and clarifications, as the project progresses over the course of a year
Rates:
Prose (<100 pages): $200
Prose (100-200 pages): $300
Prose (>200 pages): $500
Poetry (any length): $250
all values in USD
Waivers:
