Publishing Domination Services

Frank, Skilled, Relentless: I’ll Whip Your Writing into Shape!

Through a variety of writing, editing, and coaching services, I am here to demystify the cloudy, nerve-racking, and often demoralizing process of trying to get your work published. My goal is to help writers feel knowledgeable, empowered, supported, and proud of their publishing choices.

  • Publishing Hot Take

    Send me your query letter, the first 20 pages of your manuscript, and a synopsis — I’ll tell you what you need to get agents biting, give you actionable next steps, and return to you a copyedited query letter.

  • Developmental Editing

    Whether you have a braided essay, a short story, or a full manuscript, I will provide you with honest, encouraging, and concise editorial feedback to get your writing into its most engaging form. I pay close attention to plot, voice, character development, style, and clarity.

  • Hourly Coaching

    My coaching offerings take on many forms: from daily word-count reporting, to weekly goal setting, to helping you figure out the right outlets to pitch a particular piece of writing, to best strategies for getting noticed by agents, to virtually holding your hand while your book baby is out on submission.

  • Nonfiction Book Proposal

    A book proposal is a key marketing tool. Whether you need yours edited or you need support crafting it from the ground up, I will help you put together a unique and sellable proposal.

  • Copyediting/Line editing

    Do not miss out on agents or publishing opportunities because your writing is rife with grammatical and punctuation errors. My copyediting North Stars are readability and consistency, while maintaining the author’s unique voice and artistic vision.

  • Writing Domme

    Set a goal and let’s GO. Write every day? Finish a project? Nab an agent? Go viral? I will help you toward your literary dreams. As a writing domme, I hold my clients to high expectations. We’ll set up a system of rewards or consequences to keep you on task and on time.

Testimonials

  • Thanks to Minna’s savvy advice, I stopped trying to publish my book with an academic press, got an agent, and sold my book to a Big 5 publisher in a 6-figure book deal. Minna coached me every step of the way with timely, to-the-point support. I’d recommend her to any writer needing clear-eyed counsel on their manuscript or the industry!

    - L.L.

  • Minna is a fierce but compassionate copy editor. Not only did she get down in the weeds (colon vs. em-dash, tense consistency), she also consumed the text and saw the whole of the project, then made editorial suggestions from that big-picture point of view. Like a good friend making sure your tie is straight and your sweater isn’t buttoned askew before a job interview, my book is ready to go out into the world thanks to Minna's excellent work.

    - Amy Butcher, author of Trunk Full of Wonder, Paws for Consideration, and Wonder Body

  • Minna provided me with concrete, actionable guidance, including: how to identify agents and publishers for unconventional work, how to build an audience through social media and networking, and how to navigate the business side of publishing.

    If you're a writer with serious publishing ambitions, or in need of an honest and genuinely supportive coach, Minna is exceptional.

    - Alisa B., author of queer erotica and experimental fiction

  • Minna is a dream to work with. Her knowledge of the literary industry as well as her writing/analytical skills are sharp. She gave me a clear picture and explicit steps of what to hone in on in order to move forward in my pursuit of publishing. Her constructive criticism and positive feedback on my writing gave me an edge of confidence for what can be a very intimidating industry. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    - Jillian Grade

  • Minna has vision and guts. I have worked with her on rough drafts as well as publication strategies. She offers clear, concise feedback for my writing, and provides focused, directed guidance on reaching out to agents. She has helped me secure a number of events and publication opportunities.
