Writing & Editing for Artists, Poets & Writers

Robert Rauschenberg, Erased de Kooning Drawing, 1953

Do you need help writing your artist statement? Residency application? Grant proposal? Need advice on ordering your poetry manuscript? Want line edits? A novel read?

I love doing this work and have done it for dozens of artists, poets, writers, and musicians for the past 15 years.

Some questions I’ve helped answer:

  • What are the strongest parts of my manuscript?

  • Do the section breaks make sense? Is this really two books?

  • I have this great idea, can you help me draft a grant proposal for it?

  • Can you fix my grammar mistakes and typos?

Some things I’ve done in this area:

  • Manuscript consultations for the Ruth Stone House

  • Judged the 2021 Burnside Review Press Book Award

  • Faculty member at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver

  • 2021 CU Boulder King Award Judge

My rates are very reasonable; I want to work within your budget! Let’s talk about your project. Email me: waverlysands at gmail dot com
