SERVICES
I offer manuscript assistance for short and book-length works of prose (fiction or creative nonfiction), being prepared for publication.
This support entails:
✔ Assessment of structure, style, dialogue, character development, narrative flow, setting, and voice, provided through written comments.
✔ I will also discuss the assessment with you, by phone or video-conference, to address any additional questions. For more information, please contact me.

"Nancy is a fabulous writer, and her feedback helped me improve my craft. She genuinely cared about my story and pushed me to tell it better by asking questions, offering a critical eye to where more is needed and showering praise on what already shines. She excels at memoir and helped me to share more of myself in each page. I loved to read her reflections and recommend her with enthusiasm. She was generous with her knowledge, gracious with her advice, and ever-encouraging!”
