Sara Stamey

What will I do for you?
Help you develop the full potential of your writing.
  • Conceptual:
    • Clarify your intentions and creative goals.
    • Assess the effectiveness of your story/novel/essay:
      Will your theme reach your intended readers with the desired impact?
    • Evaluate structural development, plot, or argument progression.
  • Nuts & Bolts:
    • Maintain consistency of writing style.
    • Streamline wordy or awkward sentences.
    • Avoid mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
    • Maximize effectiveness of a fictional scene by advancing developments of character, scenic setting, action, and conflict to support your theme.

You will benefit from my years of experience writing, teaching, and editing creative works. I will also share my insider’s perspective on the complex and changing world of publishing.

I always consider my clients’ needs and desires, whether a brief critique, a simple line-edit for clarity, or a full structural outline or rewrite. I’m also available to ghostwrite your story idea.

Each project is unique, and I will accommodate your goals and budget. I strive to keep my fees affordable.


"The faults of great writers are generally excellences carried to excess."
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
