About this Gig
You have written the manuscript. Now make sure it says what God put on your heart, in the right order and with the right force.
I am a Christian developmental editor and book editor who helps strengthen your manuscripts structure, message, flow and reader experience while preserving your voice and doctrine.
I work with Christian nonfiction, self-help books, daily devotionals, prayer journals, Christian ebooks, Bible studies and childrens books. As a novel editor, I help improve plot, pacing and character in Christian fiction. As a memoir editor, I help testimonies and life stories read with honesty, focus and a clear arc.
What you get:
A detailed editorial letter, in-manuscript comments, guidance on structure and chapter order, clarity and flow feedback, plot and character review, devotional consistency checks, Scripture use and context review, and a short follow-up round.
Please note:
This service focuses on developmental feedback, not copy editing or book proofreading. Once your structure is solid, I can polish your text through my Christian book editing gig.
Message me with your word count, book type and goals. I will confirm the right package before you order.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
A developmental edit is a big-picture review of structure, message, flow and pacing. I do not fix typos here. That comes later with copy editing and proofreading.
Will the developmental editor change my message or theology?
No. I suggest and explain, and you decide. Your doctrine and voice stay yours. I flag anything unclear so you can choose how to handle it.
Do you rewrite my book?
No. I give clear direction and examples, and you do the revising. This keeps the book in your own voice.
What does manuscript editing include?
An editorial letter and comments in your Word file. Premium also includes chapter-by-chapter notes and a review of revised chapters.
Are you a memoir editor, and do you edit fiction and Christian ebooks?
Yes. I edit Christian memoirs and testimonies, novels, nonfiction, devotionals, Bible studies and Christian ebooks.
Should I do this before proofreading?
Yes. Developmental editing comes first, then copy and line editing, then proofreading. Editing text that is still changing wastes money.
