LaTrena S. Mitchell, L.L.C.
A studio for stories that need a spine.
Editing, academic writing, ghostwriting, and film — from initiation to execution. Starting rates below. Every project is quoted. Half to open the file.
Your name. Her architecture.
Ghostwriting
From $0.30 / word
Book-length from $18,000
Memoirs, novels, and narratives built from your life and voice — structured, sharpened, and finished with the same dramatic control Mitchell brings to her own pages. The old house sold ten hours plus formatting. A book is not ten hours.
Dialogue that acts.
Film & series scripts
Consult from $250 · rewrite from $6,000
Original feature from $12,000
Original screenplays, series bibles, loglines, and rewrites. She writes pictures in WriterDuet — professional format, real-time collaboration. From a first-page punch to a shooting draft — including consultation for producers and talent. Festival gold and 32º Degreez do not live at a student floor.
The book inside the book.
Manuscript development
From $0.05 / word
80,000 words from $4,000
Developmental editing, story architecture, formatting, and the long walk from draft to something that can stand in a room. Plot, poetry, and feeling held in the same hand. KDP, Kindle, and copyright are quoted with the file — not bundled as the whole job.
Precision, not padding.
Academic writing & editing
From $75 / hour
Or from $0.06 / word
Academic editing and writing support tailored to the assignment — clear argument, clean prose, and a collaborator who holds a B.B.A. and an M.Ed. from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The old academic page was a scheduler and a file upload, not a public dollar card.
She writes pictures in WriterDuet— a notable, reliable script desk. Not a house product.
Then / now
The old card was budget. The résumé is not.
Pulled live from the LSMLLC Wix house — Film Script Prices and Manuscript Ghostwriting on latrenasm.wixsite.com/mysite. Those pages still post deposit packages. About LSMLLC said budget pricing available. That company page hangs at /lsmlc. That posture fit a shop taking work from initiation to execution. It does not fit a published novelist, 32º Degreez co-writer, festival-awarded screenwriter, NYFW PR intern, SXSW PR, and senior panelist for the MLC Awards and Scene Awards.
New floors sit in the professional band used by working editors and indie screenwriters — Editorial Freelancers Association 2025 medians as a compass, not a union scale. Ghostwriting fiction commonly runs about $0.25–$0.50 a word. Developmental editing about $0.03–$0.08 a word or $50–$85 an hour. A $500 feature is a student pass. These numbers are starting rates. Every file is quoted. Half still opens the work, the same deposit posture as the old house. Public relations is not sold as an agency retainer from an internship and a Coursera course.

Academic
The Academic Editing | Writing Services page ran a live scheduler (Simpl-e-Schedule) and a file upload. No public dollar amounts were posted there, on Request a Quote, or on Book a Consultation — those rooms asked for the file, then a conversation. About LSMLLC only promised budget pricing. Starting now: from $75 / hour, or from $0.06 / word. The submission form hangs at Academic Editing.
Authors she has carried
Other legends, finished.
Through LSMLLC, Mitchell has helped books leave the private room and enter the world — children’s stories, memoirs, and street mythology alike. The dedicated wall is Published authors.
The Adventures of Stormi & Joey
Presented by Richard St John
A children’s world from Mitchell’s 32º Degreez collaborator — proof the studio moves between grit and wonder.
Dear Jr
Durale Harper
A father’s letter turned book — legacy, lockdown, and the torch passed forward.
Still Standing Tall
Dr. Lightshadow Shadowlight
The return of a king. Street mythology, made publishable.
How My Heart Led to My Success
Briona Slaughter
A memoir of a heart that would not close. Another voice LSMLLC helped carry to the page.
