SELECT YOUR PACKAGE
At HY Edits, we place as much emphasis on the process of brainstorming as the writing itself. Depending on the package you choose, we can help you comb through past experiences and start a story from scratch, or we can identify ways for you to make that first draft into its best version. We’ll look for cliches, tell you where your ideas need clarification, and flag places you can be more concise. Based on what you're writing and where you’re at in the process, you can choose from one of several packages.
