I will edit your book developmentally
I've worked in higher education for nearly 15 years. I'm an avid reader and love to write in my free time from my home in California. I'd love to beta-read your fiction writing!
About this Gig
Congratulations, you've just written a book!
Now comes the scary part... does it make sense?
Are there plot holes you haven't noticed? Does the pacing drag in the middle? Are your characters' motivations clear? Did you set something up early on that you forgot about or accidentally contradicted later?
This is where I come in.
As your developmental editor, I'll focus on story structure, plot logic, pacing, character motivation, continuity, and setup/payoff. I'll identify plot holes, inconsistencies, confusing or slow sections, and offer concrete suggestions for strengthening your manuscript.
What you'll receive:
- A detailed analysis of each chapter in a Google Doc or Word document
- A final analysis of the novel as a whole, including larger structural issues
- Specific feedback on what's working, what isn't, why, and possible ways to fix it
- A fresh, objective perspective from someone who enjoys taking stories apart and figuring out how they work
I'm interested in fiction only, and I'm comfortable working with explicit content. If your manuscript contains particularly graphic material, just let me know ahead of time.
Let's find the holes before your readers do!

FAQ
What's the difference between a developmental editor and a proofreader?
A developmental editor will look at an earlier draft and help shape your story at a macro level, focusing on the novel as a whole. A proofreader is someone who will look over the final draft of your manuscript and point out spelling, grammar, and layout errors at a micro level.
