FAQ
Do you edit genres outside romance, romantasy, and literary fiction?
I focus on these genres so I can give your manuscript the attention it deserves. If your project is close to these, message me and I'll let you know if it's a fit.
What's the difference between developmental, copy, and line editing?
Developmental editing looks at structure, pacing, and character. Line and copy editing focus on sentence-level clarity, flow, grammar, and consistency. My packages combine these based on what your manuscript needs.
Will you rewrite parts of my manuscript?
No. I flag issues and suggest fixes, but the writing stays yours. If you need full rewrites or ghostwriting, that's outside what I offer.
What do I need to send you to get started?
Your word count, genre, and a rough timeline. That's enough for me to recommend the right package for your project.
Can I see a sample of your work before ordering the full edit?
Yes, that's exactly what the Basic package is for. It lets you try my editing style on a small portion before committing.
