Editorial Coaching
From: $800.00
We love helping with in-progress projects, as it’s always great to see a manuscript grow up before our very eyes. So if you want some assistance with a project you’re working on, this is the place.
Editorial Coaching includes a series of one-hour meetings with one of our exceptional Developmental Editors (see below) to dive into everything you’ve already drafted, give feedback, and help brainstorm possible directions the work could take. It’s pretty great, as it’s like having a writing mentor, an art therapist, and a good friend all at the same time.
Also, heads up that Editorial Coaching with Atmosphere doesn’t preclude you from shopping the manuscript for publication elsewhere; it’d also get you a $400 discount on publishing with us down the line, if you’d like.
