Work With Me
What I Do
I help everyday writers strengthen their personal essays so their stories land with clarity, power, and emotional truth.
My focus is on:
Finding the heart of your piece
Sharpening structure
Tightening pacing
Cutting fluff
Keeping your voice intact
If you write about healing, generational patterns, trauma, personal growth, motherhood, or identity, I can help you shape the story you’re trying to tell.
What I Offer
1. The Personal Essay Edit — $40 CAD
Best for full Substack essays, personal narratives, or pieces you plan to publish or submit.
For essays up to 1,000 words.
You send:
Your essay
(Optional) a short note about your intention
I deliver:
A clean, edited version
A marked-up version showing every change
A short editorial note explaining the edits
Clear recommendations for revision or next steps
Turnaround: 3–5 days.
2. The Note Edit — $10 CAD
Best for Notes, intros, captions, or short reflections you want sharper without overthinking.
For short pieces up to 250 words.
You send:
Your Note or short piece
Any context you want me to know
I deliver:
A clean, tightened version
A marked-up version (optional)
One or two quick suggestions to sharpen clarity or impact
Turnaround: 24–48 hours.
This is the “easy yes” option if you want fast, precise help without committing to a full essay edit.
Who This Is For
You’re a good fit if you:
Are writing personal nonfiction
Know what you want to say but can’t quite get it on the page
Want honest, direct feedback without losing your voice
Want to grow as a writer, not get a document scribbled with red ink
You do not need to be an experienced writer.
How to Work With Me
Email me with:
Your piece (Google Docs preferred)
Your name
Anything you want me to know before I read
📧 riseandcrumblestories@outlook.com
Payment is through Buy Me a Coffee, and only after I confirm your piece.
My Promise
I don’t inflate your ego.
I don’t sugarcoat.
I give you the edit I would want someone to give me:
Clear. Direct. Useful.
Why Work With Me
I write about healing, trauma, motherhood, and breaking cycles.
My own work has grown quickly on Substack because I write with honesty, precision, and emotional clarity — the same qualities I help others bring out in their own work.
If you’re trying to find your voice, I can help.
