About this Gig

Please message me before you purchase to make sure were a good fit. I also do proofreading and copyediting.

 

Every story needs an editor to make the finished product the best it can be. That is where editors work alongside the author to help the author make their work shine.

 

I will edit anything from short stories to novellas and novels in the horror, thriller, suspense and mystery genres.

 

A Developmental Edit includes:

 

A full report and comments in the manuscript tracker. The report will cover areas of your manuscript such as:

 

Plot

Characters

POV

Plausability

Plot holes and consistency

Readability

 

I also love to identify strong points and help authors make those strengths even stronger.

 

A Line Edit includes:

 

Inline comments on your manuscript with suggestions on how to fix problem areas. I will also include a report with general feedback.

    Working with Derek has been an exceptional experience. He is so helpful in ways I cannot even begin to explain. His willingness to pivot to ensure that I received the kind of assistance I needed was incredible and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sounding board at any part of the writing process.
