About this Gig

Looking for a creative, thorough, and encouraging editor? Look no further!


As your developmental editor, I will dive deep into your novel, analyze the plot beats and character arcs, and gently suggest actionable steps to improve them so that your vision becomes a reality.


As an author myself, I understand how much precious time, effort, and passion you put into every word. Together, well shape your story to fit the market and fulfill your author goals!


My services include:

  • Writing a 3-5 or 5-11 page editorial memo detailing actionable steps for revising your novel: I will read over your novel several times and make notes, tracking the character arcs and plot beats. I will then compile my notes into a structured document that addresses each developmental issue with suggestions for improvement, including:
  • Mapping story structure
  • Analyzing themes in your novel
  • Keeping the character arcs and personalities consistent
  • Assessing marketing potential, reader expectations, and genre tropes
  • Making in-line edits with suggestions for improvement: I will make comments and suggest edits regarding character arcs, plot beats, word flow, and prose
  • Following up to discuss any questions you have

Genre:

    This is my first time using Kclannon's services and I was not disappointed. She went well beyond my editing expectations and gave useful indepth developmental editing notes that have encouraged me to rethink and rewrite the stories I submitted. I feel like her editing notes are exactly what I needed to take these pieces to the next level.

    This seller provided me with excellent, in-depth feedback of my short story. She left me with new insights into the meaning and potential in my own story, which I very much appreciated and made me excited to go back and make changes! Her communication was also friendly and reliable. I would recommend...
