Focused Revision Sessions

In these one-hour sessions, we’ll focus on specific questions and challenges you’re facing as you write and revise, such as

• tackling a revise-and-resubmit for a journal article

• drafting or restructuring your book proposal

• talking through your book’s central argument and identifying how your chapter-level arguments support it

• outlining a new chapter or reversing outlining an existing one

• restructuring your book chapters or sections within chapters

• crafting a more engaging introduction

• responding to difficult or conflicting reader reports on your book manuscript

We’re game to talk about any thorny writing issues you many have. Sessions often involve sharing screens and working on key pieces of the text together.

These sessions are great for authors working with us on a chapter-by-chapter basis; we can meet as you’re (re)writing and strategize about implementing our developmental feedback. Please let us know if you’d like to include one or more sessions in a quote for a developmental book editing project.

One-off calls are also welcome from new and existing clients. If you find yourself with a sticky writing or revision problem, we can usually work through it in a session.

Sessions are $125/hour. This includes 30-minutes of reading time for the editor prior to the session. Please send your text with notes about your questions at least forty-eight hours before the session.

If you’re paying with a debit or credit card, please book here and Calendly will collect payment.

If you need the session to be invoiced to your institution, please book here and email us with instructions for invoicing.

If these times don’t work for you, feel free to reach out at sarah@sarahobrienediting.com and we can find a time that does.
