My assistant and I are currently seeking new clients for our manuscript editing services through G rubStreet Writers. If you’re in need of someone to help get your story, essay, or full-length book ready for submission to an agent or publisher, drop us a line!

As your writing coach and editor, I will give you the tools to help you pare down your sentences to just the right length and rhythm. I will show you how to take a step back from the pages and look at the overall narrative and how each of its pieces fit into the bigger picture: we’ll cut what is weak and flabby, and we’ll dissect and rearrange the remaining parts—all with the goal of making your creative work the strongest it can be.

What I bring to the table: publication of two novels and numerous short stories and essays, more than 30 years of professional editing at newspapers and magazines, and experience leading several writing workshops. Though I read widely across all genres, I’m particularly drawn to literary fiction, mystery, memoir, Young Adult, narrative non-fiction, history, and biography.

My rates are reasonable ($90/hour) and my schedule is open. If you’re interested in learning more about manuscript consultation, contact me (david.abrams at Gmail) and we’ll talk about how to make your words as enticing as kittens.
