Every November, writers around the world take on the ambitious goal of writing a 50,000-word book in just 30 days. Whether you’re joining the challenge or finally polishing your finished novel, this is your time to create, and I’m here to help you refine it.

To celebrate both NaNoWriMo and Novel November, I’m offering deep discounts on all editorial services throughout late October and November. These are my lowest rates of the year; perfect for indie authors, self-publishers, and new writers ready to take their manuscripts to the next level.

⚠️ Availability is limited!
These special prices may increase during this period depending on bookings, availability, and my schedule. To secure your rate, book early and lock it in before rates rise.

✍️ What Is NaNoWriMo (and Novel November)?

For over two decades, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) inspired writers to draft a 50,000-word novel during November. While the official nonprofit organization behind NaNoWriMo closed earlier this year, the writing tradition lives on.

Many authors are continuing the challenge independently or within their own writing communities by tracking word counts, joining accountability groups, and working toward the same creative goal: write a novel in 30 days.

That’s where Novel November comes in. It’s a celebration of writing, revision, and creative rebirth. It’s a time to start new stories, finish forgotten ones, and give existing drafts the attention they deserve.

Whether you’re in the drafting phase or preparing for publication, I’m offering professional editing support at deeply discounted rates to make this your most productive writing month yet.
