The NYT Essay Course
I've been published in the writerly trifecta: The New York Times' and New York Times Magazine's Modern Love, Episode, and Letter of Recommendation columns, three essay spaces that writers often view as major career milestones. I receive a lot of inquiries regarding these three verticals, and this targeted course is aimed at writing essays and pitches that will land a column of the writer's choosing. I'll include my own successful pitch strategies and pitches, exhaustive essay revision as needed, and technical notes on a pitch that will draw the attention of these specific editors. Flat pricing only. Enquire by email.
Ghostwriting and Developmental Editing
I am available for full-length manuscript ghostwriting, with specific expertise in memoir, the culinary arts, parenting, real estate, and travel. As a seasoned reporter, however, I am comfortable with all levels of researched ghostwritten projects and can work on short timelines. I am also available for developmental edits on fiction and non-fiction projects. Flat pricing, dependent on client needs and scope of project. Enquire by email.
