FAQ
What’s the difference between this and a standard proofread?
A developmental edit focuses on the 'big picture'—plot holes, character arcs, and pacing—whereas proofreading only fixes grammar. I’ll make sure your story actually works before you worry about the commas.
Will my original voice and writing style be preserved?
Absolutely. I specialize in strengthening your narrative while preserving your unique stylistic choices; I’m here to polish your vision, not rewrite it into something you don't recognize
Will I get clear instructions on how to improve my manuscript?
Yes, my feedback is designed to be actionable. You’ll receive a detailed editorial report and specific margin notes that tell you exactly what to fix and, more importantly, how to fix it.
Is my manuscript too messy or 'early stage' for this service?
Don't worry, I've seen it all, from rough first drafts to polished tenth revisions. My job is to provide the professional, objective perspective you need to take your book to the next level.
Do I retain full rights to my story and your suggestions?
Yes, once the order is complete, you retain 100% of the rights to your work and the feedback provided. You are free to use my critique to query agents or self publish immediately.
