Email an Editor
Put an editor’s expertise to work on the places that matter most
This is a month-long editing service for writers seeking specific guidance or editorial feedback from Amanda Hinton, a seasoned developmental and marketing editor. You can use this Email an Editor service to:
Get “first impression” feedback on your Substack bio or publication description
Receive tips on making an “about” page stronger
Make a title and subtitle combination more compelling
Bring “Should I? Shouldn’t I?” questions around Substack publishing
Pick the best possible theme/direction for a high-profile guest essay
How this works:
» Each email acts as a container to explore one question or one item of focus. This could be your “About” page, your Substack bio or a welcome email. Or you could ask a question about an essay topic or ask for feedback about how to make a title and subtitle more compelling.
» I reply within 48 business hours with a deep dive on this question or item of focus. My replies are thorough, thought provoking and designed to help you look at your writing in a different way and then take confident action.
» One Email an Editor bundle includes 5 email replies from me. The bundle must be used within one month of purchase.
If you’re ready to work one-on-one with an editor, let’s get started! You can purchase a 1-month bundle for $100 ($20/email reply is a pretty epic deal) and you’ll hear from me within 48 hours to confirm and kick off our work together.
