Let me help you with your memoir and essays

Writers can get stuck on any step along the way. We have trouble getting started. We often can't see the big picture in the weeds of our own pages, and we can have terrible trouble staying on track without deadlines. Wherever you are in the writing process, I can help.

My consulting and editing clients usually have a deadline set with me a few weeks or a month out. This really helps get the work done! I often work with writers in-progress with memoirs on an ongoing basis through brainstorming sessions and by offering written and verbal feedback on installments. But, I’m happy to meet with writers just one time.

If you’re interested in setting up a meeting or a review of an essay, send me an email at theo@theonestor.com. I tend to have availability for brainstorming sessions and essay reviews even when my memoir manuscript developmental editing schedule is booked up.

My current hourly rate is $180.
