Tarot Readings
Are you plagued with uncertainty in an area of your life and unsure what to choose?
​
While Tarot cannot offer guaranteed certainty, it can be a mirror for facilitating options and information to lead you towards choices that you feel might be most beneficial for your life.
Nor does it all have to be so serious. Some clients receive readings seeking validation of their choices or the people they are.
Whatever guidance or information you might be looking for, the Tarot is a favorable tool in providing what you need to hear and offers a perspective that can be quite hard to obtain when you are in the thick of life. ​
​
One-on-one readings will be available in the summer of 2026. In the meantime, please join me over on Substack for group readings, or any of my other socials for occasional posts of public mini readings.

Pet Sitting
Writing Edits
Are you in need of someone responsible, trustworthy and experienced to care for your pet(s) and/or home while you are away?
I would be honored and thrilled to be that person. Plus, I am a fellow animal lover who has had pets of my own since I was a child.
​
​If your animal(s) cannot be alone for very long, if your dogs need some midday play time or a walk, and/or you will spend time out of town, I am happy to care for your fur babies.
​
The monetary exchange for my services will depend on your needs; the number of animals, the type of maintenance care your pets require, and the length of time they require care.
My base services run between $30 for 2 hours - $75 for a full day, minimum. Depending on number of animals and the type of care required.
​​
If you'd like more information, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation. This is the best way for us to meet and discuss the care your pets expect. Plus, it's important for your pets to meet me before anything is decided and before I spend any time caring for them.
From developmental (big picture) edits to beta reading, I'll help you begin the process of polishing your written manuscript. Whether short story, essay, a few chapters of your novel or the whole book.
​
Beta Reading
An early reading of your work in which you receive a reader response (as if I was a customer reading it for the very first time as a completed draft). I will give you information on potential issues with flow or confusion within the manuscript. Possibly also offer needed research, although rare in fiction. The most basic service before developmental edits and not to take the place of that step.
​
Developmental Edits
These edits highlight big picture issues. They offer an opportunity for you to receive narrative feedback of your manuscript with suggestions to improve things like dialogue, clarity, plot, character development, world building, etc.​ I will highlight what I see as your strengths and also make specific suggestions for improving stagnant areas.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Mischa L.
​I highly recommend hiring Alyssa McCall as an editor. They have edited my work over the years and has helped me grow as a writer. Alyssa is a multifaceted editor. They have a beautiful balance between being methodical and creative. Their edits made me confident that my writing was structurally and grammatically sound, while also expanding my perspective to better understand what emotions different sections of my writing might be evoking in the mind of the reader. Being a detailed individual, they helped me hone in on the bigger picture of my work to ensure my intended message was received. Alyssa has also been a non-judgmental and a safe place when editing some of my deeply personal pieces. Depending on your wants or focuses for editing, Alyssa is willing to listen and adjust as needed.

Alyssa house sat and watched our dog over an extended weekend. She made a very fast connection with our pup, which put me at ease to leave him. I could tell he was comfortable with her right away! While she was in our home, not only did she take excellent care of our sweet boy, but she treated our home with respect. When we returned from our trip, the house was left in great condition and we could tell our dog was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Alyssa to anyone!

Working with Alyssa on my memoir was an absolute game-changer. She has an eye for detail and insightful editing helped me transform my way of writing and thinking as a writer. Alyssa not only caught grammatical errors and inconsistencies, but also offered invaluable suggestions for improving flow, clarity, and overall impact. She asked many questions about my goals and guided me to complete them. She is patient, professional, and truly invested in helping me bring my vision to life. I felt supported and encouraged throughout the entire process, and I'm incredibly grateful for her expertise. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone that is open and ready to bring out their best. Thank you Alyssa!
