About this Gig

Worried that your manuscript is weak or not sure where your story is going?


"Deborah was so nice to work with. I had a lot of anxiety going into this whole editing thing, and never once did Deborah make me feel bad about my writing. She had so many kind words and was very pleasant to work with."


I will edit your work and leave detailed comments in the margins regarding character motivation, emotional impact, pacing, consistency, flow, style, clarity, dialogue & structure. Let's improve the overall content and structure of your manuscript together. I will also write a critique summarizing your work's strengths and weaknesses, and offer suggestions for improvement. 


My strengths lie in Middle Grade & YA novels & Psychological thrillers/ horrors but I can work with any genre - fiction or non-fiction.


Please contact me prior for any custom word counts or special requirements.

This gig includes corrections of grammar and spelling errors. I will point out constant inconsistencies and filler words - and will ask you to correct these as you go. I will set homework for you as I edit too - so be prepared to work hard.


I am looking forward to meeting you and your work.
