MFA/Creative Writing PhD Coaching:
If you’d like to (virtually) meet (whether just once or several times!) to talk through the application process and how you might best position yourself and your work, this is a great option.
MFA/Creative Writing PhD Portfolio Review:
I offer in-depth feedback (both line edits and overall/structural feedback in written form) on your fiction or nonfiction creative writing sample.
This includes:
· full edits & feedback on your entire writing sample
· full edits & feedback on your personal statement
· edits/advice on your CV or resume
· a holistic review in written form (e.g. What are your portfolio’s strengths and weaknesses? What would I advise you to focus your attention on? Do elements in your sample need re-ordering? Are there any red flags?)
Testimonials
Clancy was thorough, encouraging, offered constructive suggestions. I was very impressed by how much feedback she offered in so short a turnaround time. I would love love love to work with Clancy again. Excellent experience.
Clancy was such a phenomenal help for me in putting together my MFA packet. Her feedback went above and beyond what I could’ve ever hoped for. Her in-line and overall craft notes helped me sharpen my prose and see where sentences weren’t yet earning their keep; her substantive comments showed a real, thoughtful understanding of my voice, style, and thematic obsessions. It felt like working with an editor you’d known for years—I felt that she recognized my voice and helped me re-work my sentences, paragraphs, and pieces to show it off as best as I could. Thanks to Clancy, I was able to submit a competitive packet and get accepted to my dream nonfiction MFA program, the University of Montana!
Clancy’s feedback was incredibly thorough, encouraging and thoughtful! I’m amazed at all the suggestions, detailed comments about individual lines, plus general suggestions on the work overall. The super fast turn around was impressive too. Would absolutely recommend!

This is my third time working with Clancy and I cannot recommend her enough! She has an amazing ability to truly see the story you are trying to tell.

I would give her 1 million stars if I could. She is definitely worth More than on any other gig on Fiverr! I have been on Fiverr for eight years, and I have never came across an editor so detailed and has an open and pure Vision. She is phenomenal at structural and line editing.

Great comments and very helpful feedback, was a joy to work with her! Everything was clearly labelled and I think she did a good job of balancing being honest without being overly harsh. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in-need of clear and helpful proofreading and editing.
Clancy is a phenomenal writer and editor. I’m delighted with the feedback I’ve received on my forthcoming poetry collection. Since I’m self-publishing my book, it was important to me to find an editor who is thorough and thoughtful about my work. She accomplished that and so much more with my order. From the line edits to the creative suggestions, Clancy has a brilliant mind and a sharp eye. Enthusiasm sings throughout her notes while also providing substantial critiques. It’s a harmonious balance. After reviewing her suggestions, I’m excited to rework aspects of my poems. I’m also thrilled to see what was working in them, too. I’ve had the pleasure of working with several talented editors and I can confidently say that she is an extraordinary gift to the literary world. It’s clear that she is not only well-versed in the literary realm, but also deeply passionate about it. She has a great deal of experience and a compassionate approach to her work, which I truly appreciate. I recommend her services to everyone, especially if you are looking to feel inspired and excited about your creative endeavors. I would love to work with her again on future projects.
