Proofreading: grammar, punctuation, typos, consistency
Line Editing: clarity, flow, tone, sentencelevel rewrites
Developmental Editing: plot, pacing, character arcs, structure, chapter-level notes
Tracked Changes: in Word
Editorial Summary: outlining strengths + opportunities
Communication: throughout the process

FAQ
In what format will I receive my edits?
The edits will be delivered in two separate Word documents: one track changes file, in which you will be able to see and choose from my edits and comments, as well as one clean, polished file in which all edits are accepted.
Do you have experience across multiple genres?
Yes! I am both well read in and personally write across multiple genres. I am confident in tackling whatever genre describes your novel!
