About this Gig
You receive a comprehensive developmental manuscript edit delivered as a tracked-changes Microsoft Word document (.DOCX) alongside an in-depth editorial letter in PDF format. Every critique evaluates core storytelling architecture, including plot structure, character development, world-building, pacing, and dialogue flow. As a professional fiction book editor, I analyze your manuscript to eliminate plot holes, weak transitions, and pacing lags before you publish on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or query agents.
Self-published authors receive actionable editorial guidance that sharpens character motivations, heightens narrative tension, and prepares your book for market success.
Genres I work on:
- Romance
- Fantasy
- sci-fi
- Thriller
- Young adult
- Memoir
Your story is refined with rigorous developmental feedback tailored to active readers in your subgenre.

FAQ
Is my manuscript and idea kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your intellectual property, ideas, and manuscripts remain 100% confidential and secure at all times.
How does the free sample critique work?
Simply send me your opening 1000 words along with a brief synopsis of your story. I will provide a complimentary developmental sample critique showing you exactly how I analyze plot architecture, pace, and character depth, 100% free with no obligation to place a full order.
What is the difference between developmental editing and copy editing?
Developmental editing focuses on big picture storytelling architecture, plot logic, pacing, character arcs, world building, and chapter structure. Copy editing focuses on sentence level mechanics like grammar, punctuation, and syntax. This services provides deep story level structural analysis.
What deliverables will I receive when my order is completed?
You will receive two main files: an annotated Microsoft word document (.DOCX) featuring detailed margin comments and tracked changes, plus a comprehensive editorial report (.PDF) breaking down your plot structure, character development, pacing, and subgenre alignment.
What genre do you edit?
I specialize in fiction manuscripts, including Romance, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mystery/Thriller, Young Adult, and Contemporary Fiction, as well as memoirs. Every critique is tailored to the specific tropes and expectations of your subgenre.
Do you edit non-fiction books or memoirs?
Yes. For non-fiction and memoirs, developmental editing focuses on structural flow, chapter organization, argument/narrative clarity, reader engagement, and thematic impact.
How do I calculate the cost and turnaround time for my full manuscript?
Send me your total word count and a brief overview of your story. I will provide an accurate quote, project timeline, and delivery schedule tailored to your exact manuscript length.
