I will provide a professional developmental edit and editorial letter
About this Gig
Is your manuscript finished but something feels off? You can't quite put your finger on it but you know it's not ready yet.
That's exactly where I come in.
I'm a developmental editor specializing in fiction: fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thriller, and literary fiction. I will read your entire manuscript with fresh eyes and deliver a comprehensive editorial assessment that tells you exactly what's working, what isn't, and why.
What you'll receive:
- A 1,500 to 3,000 word editorial letter covering structure, pacing, character arcs, plot holes, theme, and overall story logic.
- A prioritized revision roadmap so you know what to fix first, second, and third.
- Honest, constructive feedback that respects your vision while pushing your story to its full potential.
This service is ideal for:
- Writers preparing to query literary agents
- Self-publishing authors who want professional feedback before publishing
- Writers who have finished a draft and feel stuck
I do not do line edits or proofreading in this service. This is purely big-picture, story-level feedback.
All manuscripts are kept strictly confidential.

FAQ
What is a "Developmental Edit"?
It’s a "big picture" edit. I don't focus on typos or grammar; I focus on your story’s foundation—plot holes, character growth, pacing, and emotional impact. It’s about making the story work before you polish the sentences.
Do you edit genres other than Romance?
Yes. While I specialize in Contemporary Romance, I also love working on general Fiction and Young Adult manuscripts. If you’re unsure if we’re a fit, feel free to send me a message.
What do I need to send you?
Just your manuscript in a .doc or .docx format and a brief summary or blurb of the story. If you have specific concerns (like "the ending feels rushed"), let me know that too.
Will you rewrite my book for me?
No. I provide the "map" (Editorial Letter) and suggestions on how to improve your story, but you remain the creator. You do the writing.
