About this Gig
I am a former development manager and editor with 13 years of publishing industry experience, specializing in developmental editing, content development, and editorial strategy.
I help writers strengthen the big-picture elements that make content clear, cohesive, engaging, and effective. Depending on your package and project needs, I may evaluate:
- Structure and organization
- Flow, pacing, and progression of ideas
- Clarity and coherence
- Gaps, redundancies, and missed opportunities
- Tone and consistency
- Reader experience and engagement
- Alignment between your goals and the final content
My specialty is learning and soft-skills content, including leadership, communication, coaching, teamwork, and general professional development. However, I welcome projects across genres and bring the same thoughtful, strategic editorial approach to every project.
My feedback is honest, practical, and collaborative. I won't simply point out what isn't working. I'll explain why and offer actionable guidance for strengthening your work while respecting your voice and vision.
Please message me before ordering if your project exceeds the listed word counts. Thank you!

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of your work, including structure, organization, flow, clarity, pacing, coherence, and reader experience. It is different from copyediting or proofreading, which focus more closely on sentence-level errors, grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
What types of projects do you work on?
I specialize in learning and soft-skills content, but I welcome projects across genres. I can work with manuscripts, nonfiction, learning resources, training materials, articles, presentations, case studies, e-learning content, scripts, and other long-form or structured content.
Do you work with fiction?
Yes. While my 13 years of publishing experience are rooted primarily in learning and soft-skills content, I welcome fiction projects and bring a developmental lens to structure, pacing, clarity, continuity, and reader experience. Please message me before ordering so I can confirm fit for your projec
Will you rewrite my content for me?
Developmental editing focuses on evaluating and strengthening your work through editorial feedback, in-text comments when included in your package, and actionable recommendations. Substantial rewriting or ghostwriting is not included unless we agree on a custom scope in advance.
What file formats do you accept?
Microsoft Word documents are preferred for projects that include in-text comments or an annotated manuscript. I am also experienced in working with Adobe Acrobat PDF mark-up tools.
Should I contact you before placing an order?
You’re welcome to order directly if your project clearly fits one of the listed packages. For larger, complex, unusual, or specialized projects—or if you’re unsure which package is right—please message me first so I can recommend the best fit or create a custom offer.
