Hearth & Coffin
editing services
prose x poetry
The Overview
Hearth & Coffin offers editing services for works of both prose and poetry. Writers can work 1-1 with H&C editors to see their projects through to their fully realized form.
​
Works of prose are edited by Editor-in-Chief Barrett White on craft, narrative, flow and much more. Sessions are available via email and Zoom with a flexible schedule.
​
Works of poetry are edited by Poetry Editor Rachael Matthews. Dial in your form, imagery, and structure with Rachael via email.
​
Editing sessions are never prescriptive, instead unlocking the writer's own creativity by focusing on their questions, vision, and goals with an informed third-party outlook and experience in craft.
​
​
Editing services and issue submissions operate independently of each other.
Submissions for Hearth & Coffin's editing services are open to writing of any kind at any time, regardless of the theme of the current issue or status of our submission schedule. Further, should your piece happen to fit the current theme, having your work edited by us does not guarantee publication. Per standard procedure, if you are interested in submitting your piece for publication you are required to submit it following the guidelines on our F.A.Q. page.
