Editorial & Creative Consulting

If you're revising a short story, developing a novel or memoir, preparing a fellowship or grant application, or looking for thoughtful feedback on a creative project, I'd be honored to work with you. I offer developmental editing, manuscript consultations, one-on-one creative coaching, narrative strategy, and sensitivity reading for fiction and creative nonfiction. Every project begins with a free 20-minute consultation so we can discuss your goals, timeline, and determine whether we're a good fit. Rates are offered on a sliding scale based on the scope and needs of each project. To learn more or request pricing, email me at osanchezpratt@gmail.com.

Sensitivity Reading

Thoughtful editorial feedback for projects engaging communities and experiences I have particular expertise with.

Sensitivity reading is not an endorsement of a manuscript. It is one form of editorial feedback intended to strengthen the work.
