SERVICES
On a freelance basis, she accepts manuscripts of poetry, literary fiction, or creative nonfiction for critiquing and editing. Based on the writer’s needs, she provides constructive feedback and can customize her critique of the work to include such elements as:
- (for poetry) a broad review of the collection’s strengths and weaknesses, or a detailed review of individual poems, theme, and structure;
- (for fiction) a preliminary review of plot, character, theme, etc., or a detailed review focusing on such aspects as structure and continuity;
- (for all) a session of copyediting, to ready the manuscript for submission to a publisher.
Ingrid also has experience with design, maintenance, and writing/editing copy for artists’ and writers’ websites (view examples* in Links).
