She did an amazing job. I needed someone to read my book and really give it a hard look. I can't recommend her enough. She helped me find plot holes and let me know where certain passages were less clear.

About this Gig
*Currently booking into October. NOTE: I'm away September. Pre-book if needed. Message for availability*
I'm a professional developmental editor and story analyst, as well as a published author represented by Spencerhill Literary. With seven novels published and more on the way, I understand both sides of the editorial process, including indie and traditional publishing standards.
I specialize in Fantasy, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romance across YA, NA, and Adult fiction. My goal is to help you strengthen your manuscript at the big-picture level while protecting your voice and creative vision. 100% human editing, AI tools are NOT used at any point.
You'll receive:
- A comprehensive editorial letter (3-4+ pgs) covering plot structure, character arcs, pacing, worldbuilding, tone, and emotional resonance
- Targeted, actionable suggestions to enhance strengths and address problem areas
- In-line manuscript comments highlighting scenes, dialogue, and moments that need clarification, expansion, or tightening
- Honest, encouraging feedback tailored to your publishing goals
My editing style is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in industry insight and reader engagement.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
Do you work with other genres not listed?
Yes, absolutely. Scifi, fantasy, and romantasy are my strengths but I read all genres.
Does this service include copy-edits or proofreading?
No, this service does not include copy-edits or proofreading. However, I will make note of repetitive words or phrases. The expectation from this form of editing is there will be revisions on your end after I'm done, which means copy-style edits wouldn't be useful yet.
Do you provide copy-edits seperately?
Unfortunately, I do not, however, I have trusted editors I have personally worked with and can happily share their contacts when the time comes.
How do you feel about spice?
I am perfectly comfortable with all levels of spice. A pre-warning is appreciated but not required.
I still have more questions, can I contact you?
Yes! Please message me any questions you have. I am always happy to chat to make sure I'm a good fit for your book, and can provide custom offers if needed.
