I’ve critiqued and edited hundreds of manuscripts (references available) for novelists and non-fiction writers alike. Beyond copy-editing, I offer developmental and structural editing, with your whole project and an eye toward publication in mind.
My rates are competitive, my work thorough, but compassionate. As I am also a writer, I know exactly how hard you’ve worked, and how important it is to be given clear guidance on where to go next.

- Memoirs
- Non-fiction books
- Non-fiction book proposals
- Essays and short stories
- Academic papers

Dear Ms. Rosenfeld:
I am reading “Make a Scene” and it is teaching me techniques I have wanted to know about all my life.
I am struggling to plot my memoir. I think I’ve defined the theme, the subplot, the period, the viewpoint, the initiating incident, the climax and the end. But the writing sounds amateurish.
Do you offer coaching services? If so, can you please tell me how it works and how much it costs?
Thank you very much. And thank you very much for your excellent book, which is providing answers to questions I’ve struggled with for 30 years.
Sincerely,
Susan Adams
