FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on your book’s big-picture elements, including structure, pacing, plot, character development, themes, flow, and overall readability.
What is copy editing?
Copy editing improves sentence-level quality by correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, word usage, consistency, clarity, and awkward phrasing while preserving your unique voice.
Do you edit fiction and nonfiction books?
Yes. I can work on novels, short stories, memoirs, self-help books, biographies, academic books, and various nonfiction manuscripts.
Can you combine developmental editing and copy editing?
Absolutely. I can first identify larger structural issues and then refine the manuscript at the sentence level for a more polished final result.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No. My goal is to strengthen your writing while preserving your personality, tone, style, and authorial voice.
What file format should I send?
You can typically send your manuscript as a Word document (.docx). If you have another format, message me before ordering so I can confirm compatibility.
Do you provide feedback on plot and character development?
Yes. For developmental editing, I can provide constructive feedback on plot structure, character arcs, pacing, conflicts, consistency, and reader engagement.
Do you proofread after copy editing?
Copy editing includes correcting many language-level errors, but proofreading is a separate final-stage service designed to catch remaining typos and formatting issues.
Can you edit a sample before I place a large order?
Yes. You can send a short sample of your manuscript so I can understand your writing style and determine the editing approach your project needs.
Can you edit my entire book?
Yes. I can edit complete manuscripts of different lengths. Please contact me with your word count, genre, and manuscript details so I can recommend the most suitable package.
