I will line edit your fiction novel or manuscript

Your fiction will be line edited for clarity, flow, wording, sentence structure, dialogue, and consistency, while correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage where required.

The aim is to leave your writing clean, consistent, and readable while preserving your voice and intended meaning. Where sentences are disjointed or unclear, they will be corrected where necessary without turning your work into someone else's writing.

I work with fiction in a range of genres, including literary fiction, science fiction, fantasy, romance, and horror. Whether you are preparing a novel, short story, chapter, or other fiction for readers, the focus remains on careful line editing of the writing itself.

I offer a comprehensive manuscript editorial reading of work, examining plot and subplot, narrative arc, structure, pacing, character development and motivation, conflict and stakes, dialogue, point of view, narrative voice, scene construction, continuity, genre expectations, opening and ending, and the reader's experience. Detailed notes will identify any weaknesses and missed opportunities.
