Editing

As a writer and educator by trade, I'm always eager to read fresh new voices and offer my insights when requested.

But as a multi-genre, multidisciplinary artist , my time is often pretty limited. So, I am now offering editing and feedback services for a fee. This ensures I’m able to carve out all the time necessary to give your work the full attention it deserves.

For all editing and feedback services, I typically ask for half of the payment up front, and the other half upon delivery of feedback.

If my standard rates are not doable, please reach out and let me know. Payment plans and specialty rates are available upon request. Always happy to discuss and try to find a way for us to work together!

Testimonials

“Jonathan approached my poetry with warmth, curiosity, and a keen eye. He led from a place of attention, considering the work from both the individual detail as well as the overarching lines and body. He celebrated the working lines and used positively-framed questions to open my mind towards development and improvement. I trust Jonathan with my work and invite others to do the same!”

-Lydia Renfro, author of Lung Deep Country (MOONLOVE Press, 2026)
