About this Gig

Is your Middle Grade or YA novel ready for revision?

As a published author, I understand the long process of drafting and editing a book. That's why I want to help make your revision journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible! If you have completed your first or second draft, this is the perfect time to get a developmental edit of your book.


What is a developmental edit?

This is a high-level structural overview of your entire book, including the plot, character arcs, themes, flow, and pacing. I will read through your entire manuscript and objectively consider how well each element suits your book's genre and age level, the marketability of your premise, and story structure. I will provide a comprehensive editorial letter (5-8 pages, single spaced) with positive and constructive feedback that can elevate your story to the next level and help you catch the attention of agents, publishers, and readers. In addition, I'll make comments in the manuscript itself, to pinpoint specific areas that can be improved.

    Working with Rachel has been nothing short of transformative for my manuscript. Her editorial eye is both sharp and forward-thinking in terms of anticipating my market niche. She truly weighs what the readers anticipate, while still preserving the author’s unique voice. What impressed me most was her...

    Rachel gave thoughtful and insightful feedback on just the first chapter of my manuscript, and it was already incredibly helpful. Her comments were clear, constructive, and encouraging — a great experience even from this short interaction. Highly recommended!
