About this Gig

Hi, I am a graduate with a first class degree and an MFA in Creative Writing. My particular passion is for Young Adult fiction as I am the author of two YA novels currently selling on Amazon Kindle, but I am happy to edit fiction in any genre and for any age range. Im not choosy! I would love to put my talent to good use honing your work.


Contact me for a sample.

 

 My developmental editing package includes-

 

Structural Edit focussed on the overall structure of your novel/story, with the aim of maintaining pace and dramatic tension throughout.


Characterisation A look into your characters and their arcs.


Key Scenes How can key scenes be honed to create greater reader engagement?

 

Consistency, plot-holes and effective world-building Does your story make sense? Are all the story threads tied up?


Reader feedback Just the things that attracted me to your story as a reader and lover of fiction. 


You will receive-

 

Annotations and tracked changes in Microsoft Word.
