FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing looks at the big picture structure, pacing, character arcs, plot holes, and overall flow. Proofreading is the final polish for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency. I offer both, and we can focus on whichever your manuscript needs most.
Which genres do you work with?
I specialize in children’s books, self-help, romance, and fantasy. If your book falls outside these but you feel it’s a good fit, feel free to message me and we can discuss it.
How do I get started?
Simply message me with your genre, approximate word count, and a short description of where your manuscript currently stands. I’ll reply with availability, pricing options, and the next steps.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No. My goal is to strengthen your voice, not replace it. I give clear feedback and suggestions so the final manuscript still sounds like you only clearer, tighter, and more engaging.
How long does the editing process usually take?
Turnaround depends on word count and the level of editing needed. Most projects are completed within 7–14 days. I’ll give you an exact timeline once I’ve reviewed the details of your manuscript.
