Writing. Editing. Word Therapy.


You bring your creative brainchild.

I’ll bring an overdeveloped sense of empathy, a fresh perspective, and all the enthusiasm.

Words change the world. Why not yours?

You have a story. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s you. It’s…something. You love it. But you also kind of hate it? Welcome to

Mind & Mint Editorial.

Together, we’ll

elevate your labor of love from a work in progress to a work of art.

I’ve lived in the world of individualized services my entire career. Every creator is different, every editor is different, and every manuscript is different. My writing and editing services are customized for you, your project, and the needs of both.

Services (i.e., Word Therapy)

As a writer, I understand the guts and the glory of the creative process. Sometimes we aren’t the best person to review our own work — we’re too close to it. Let’s collaborate so you can live the creative life of your dreams.

 

Collaborative Writing

The core is complete, but your book needs…a lot. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?

Ghostwriting

You have a story you feel compelled to share. But this whole writing thing? Big nope.

Specializing in memoir, self-help, and nonfiction centering mental health, education, trauma, and transformation.


Editing

We’ll journey through your drafted manuscript, fiction or nonfiction, with the details in mind.

Developmental, line, and copy editing services available.

 

All projects begin with a meeting and a manuscript assessment. Ensuring we are a good creative fit is paramount to our creative partnership.

Get in touch.

Tell me about your project and your goals for it — I’ll get back to you within 2-3 business days. I’m already so excited to connect with you!

FAQs

How do you calculate your pricing?

I will create a custom quote for you based on the individual considerations and needs of your project. In general, project prices are calculated based on estimated time and effort, project length, deliverable timeline, and an initial draft review. For retainers, pricing is based on the monthly tasks and/or hours agreed upon after consultation.

Do you accept payment plans?

Yes! We are all humans and professionals, so there’s no reason to mince words about money. At the start of our work together, we will create a payment schedule for your project. For all projects, final payment will be due prior to the submission of your final deliverable.

Is hiring a word therapist worth the investment?

Clearly I’m biased, but this is what I will say: when we accept our gifts as well as our limitations, we free up space in our brains for what drives and inspires us. And while self-editing is an important skill, it’s imperative for more than one pair of eyes to review professional writing. Just like humans, it takes a village to raise a well-rounded piece of writing. Let’s connect.
