FAQ
What is the difference between a developmental edit and proofreading?
A developmental edit focuses strictly on the big-picture elements of your storytelling, such as your plot structure, character development, pacing, and world-building gaps. It does not include mechanical line editing, grammar corrections, typos, or punctuation formatting.
Do you provide structural feedback for all genres?
Yes. I provide comprehensive novel feedback across most creative fiction genres, including fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, romance, and young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction. Feel free to send a quick message if you want to discuss your specific sub-genre before ordering.
Do I need to clean up my manuscript before submitting it to you?
No, you do not. A manuscript critique is designed to be the very first stage of the editing process. Your draft does not need to be polished or free of typos; my job is to help you fix the structural foundation of the story before you spend time fine-tuning the individual sentences.
What should I do if my manuscript word count falls between your packages?
If your draft is longer than 20,000 words or falls between the listed package tiers, simply click the "Contact Me" button on my profile. Send over your exact word count and a brief summary of your project, and I will instantly send you a customized pricing offer tailored to your file.
