I will line edit your story
About this Gig
I am looking to line edit your next novel!
Ensuring your manuscript is polished and professional is important at all stages of a book's life, whether you're looking to query agents or are intent on self-publishing. A comprehensive line edit can make the difference between a yes and a no, a positive review or a middling one. I want to assist you in your journey and give a fresh set of eyes to your story, to ensure you have the best chance of success.
While reading, I consider:
- Pacing and flow
- Character development and consistency
- Dialogue authenticity
- Clarity and readability
- Emotional impact
- World/setting accuracy
What you'll receive:
- In-document line edits
- Honest, constructive feedback
- An additional read once you have incorporated changes, to pick up any other new issues
How I work:
- Google Docs or Word
- Comments
- In-line edits
Note:
- No AI use
With over five years experience in book editing, I have worked with a broad range of books in the science-fiction/fantasy space. I hold a degree in editing and a law degree; attention to detail and how to make a story compelling at the line level are my bread and butter. I am well-versed in both Oxford and Chicago style manuals.

FAQ
Are you willing to copy edit or beta read a story as well?
Sure am! Shoot me a message and we can sort out a package deal.
What genres do you edit?
While I'm willing to consider any genre of story, I mostly work with science-fiction/fantasy stories. However, don't be afraid to request a gig and I can review to decide if we'll be a good fit.
