What’s included.
Poem-level notes
Consider imagery, sound, lineation, and deliberate departures from ordinary usage.
Collection sequencing
Look at how poems speak to one another across the collection’s order.
Language and consistency edits
Offer edits that respect intention while identifying unintended distraction or ambiguity.
Built around
your starting point.
For poets refining individual poems or considering how a collection holds together.
We examine lineation, sound, imagery, and sequence in relation to the poem’s intention. Notes should invite considered choices rather than force every poem into conventional prose rules.
Talk through your brief ↗Bring your questions.
And a little context.
For authors ready to look at a draft with fresh eyes. A representative sample and a clear account of your concerns help identify the appropriate editing level.
Clear decisions at each checkpoint.

Your questions, answered.
Will unconventional grammar be corrected?
Intent matters. Deliberate choices are discussed; the aim is to distinguish expressive departures from distracting errors.
What should I send for a quote?
For poetry editing services, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the approximate word count. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.
What will I receive from poetry editing services?
The proposed scope covers poem-level notes, collection sequencing, language and consistency edits. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.
How are revisions and timelines agreed?
We review the material and scope first, then agree on milestones and feedback rounds in the proposal. Send consolidated comments at each review stage; additional work or a changed brief is quoted separately.
Can I combine this with another service?
Yes. Connected stages can be discussed together, with a clear boundary between each deliverable. Explore the related services below or describe the full project in your inquiry.
