Our Services

We offer a full range of editing and writing services tailored to fit your every need. Our rates are competitive and negotiable. No matter where you are in your project’s development, we can’t wait to work with you and see it to completion.

  • We bring decades of nuanced writing instruction to a full, substantial review of your creative project, complete with line edits and annotations. We’ll address all aspects of craft, including structure, plot, character development, language, pacing, conflict, and tone.

  • We’ll provide a close reading of your work and focus on the essential elements of a successful manuscript. Our holistic assessment will offer instructive feedback regarding specific areas that are hitting the mark as well as suggestions for improvement.

  • A trusted guide can make the difference at any stage of your creative process. We’ll deliver scheduled sessions and customized instruction to help you bring your project to fruition, one benchmark at a time.

  • Even if you’ve got a great concept, you may need help to produce a script that convinces an agent or creative exec to get to “yes.” Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned veteran, we'll help you hone your concept, sharpen your writing, and make your script a success.

  • Grades alone won’t get you accepted. With more schools going test-optional, the college admission essay is more important than ever. We’ll guide you through the creation of your essay, providing consultation and detailed feedback that will showcase your unique experience in ways that make a difference.

  • To the MFA-bound, we’ve been there, and we understand your desire for perfection. We offer a holistic review of your personal statements and creative submissions, including line edits and annotations.

  • Do you need another set of eyes on an important piece of writing? Or are you a bit nervous and unsure where to begin? Let us help tailor that speech, proposal, vow, letter, obituary, or toast to perfection.

  • "Dave and Laura have served as my most trusted teachers and mentors since 2012. They supported me in revising my writing sample for my MFA applications, which resulted in four fully-funded graduate program offers. I simply could not have done it without their expert insight!"

  • "Laura gave me the foundation for my writing career. Whether it was a workshop session, a one-off conversation, or reading through a critique, Laura was teaching and I was learning. It was through Laura's workshops that I learned how to successfully convey my story to readers, and I cannot recommend her expertise enough."

    Grey | Queens University of Charlotte MFA

  • "Dave's combination of literary knowledge, practical expertise and creativity help his students to expand their own ideas into concrete, carefully crafted works to be proud of. He guides with a gentle hand, while still helping the writer to form and maintain a unique voice—no matter the subject of their writing."

  • "Through workshops and guided time together, Laura helped shape stories, both fiction and non-fiction, with a specialty of honing the writer's voice. My experience working with Dave was filled with introspection. Dave challenged me with my fiction pieces and provided a different perspective, adding a layer of depth to my work that was both fresh and intuitive."
