Alisa Alering

From writing prompts that inspire to feedback that digs deep, I can help you make your writing dreams come true. An experienced writer, editor, and workshop facilitator, I’ve worked with The Highlights Foundation and other organizations.

Let me help you get to know your characters, organize your story, and make that final push to finish your novel. Together, we’ll find the true north of your manuscript and make it the best it can be.

Whole Novel Critique: A thorough examination of your novel. I read the manuscript twice and prepare a 5-10 page editorial letter, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and recommending a plan for revision. I then follow-up with a 60-minute Zoom call to go over the feedback and answer any questions.

Rate: $1000 for a manuscript up to 65,000 words, $100 for every extra 5,000 words
