About this Gig

I will perform developmental edits on your novel, providing an annotated manuscript and detailed report of over 1000 words. Optional extras include faster delivery and assistance in planning on expanding your series.


Things I look out for include:

  • Strong characterisation, or a lack thereof.
  • Lacking description.
  • Pacing.
  • Plot holes.
  • Weak points in the plot.
  • Consistency of tone.
  • Tense changes.


If you're interested in my services, feel free to contact me to ask any further questions you may have. I always like clients to contact me first before placing an order, if possible. I mainly like to work on contemporary novels, and tend to steer clear of explicitly gory works. Please only book in if you're ready to receive constructive criticism, and will be receptive to conversations surrounding how we can make your book better.

    Thank you so much for your thorough feedback/pointers/tips. Was very fast with the delivery time. I liked how it was separated into chapter-by-chapter sections, that made it easy to read/digest. Would recommend to anyone in need of dev. edits. :)

    Emma was very quick with delivery and had much constructive criticism that helped develop my story. However, I got a strong sense that my book might not have been her preferred genre, which sometimes came through in feedback. Overall, I would recommend Emma to work with if you want someone who works fast and has extensive knowledge in writing.
