FAQ
What’s the difference between developmental, substantive, and line editing?
Developmental and substantive editing focus on your manuscript’s structure, pacing, and character or idea development. Line editing refines language, tone, and flow at the sentence level — ensuring your writing reads smoothly and professionally.
Will you change my voice or writing style?
Never. My edits strengthen your voice — they don’t replace it. I enhance clarity, rhythm, and impact while preserving your unique tone and authorial style.
How do I know which service I need?
If your manuscript is still evolving in structure or plot, choose developmental editing. If your story is solid but your prose needs refinement, choose line editing. If you’re submitting to agents or publishers, my query package critique is ideal.
Do you work with both fiction and nonfiction?
Yes! I edit fiction, memoir, self-help, business, and hybrid genres, providing tailored feedback aligned with publishing standards.
Will I receive comments or tracked changes?
Absolutely. I provide tracked edits in Word and a detailed editorial letter outlining key suggestions, strengths, and next steps.
Do you use AI tools in editing?
I use AI-assisted editorial checks only when beneficial — for speed and accuracy — but every edit, insight, and suggestion is 100% human and professionally curated.
Can I request a custom offer for my project?
Yes! Send me a sample of your manuscript or query materials. I’ll assess your needs and create a custom offer that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.
Do you guarantee acceptance by agents or publishers?
No editor can guarantee acceptance, but I can guarantee your submission will be polished, professional, and competitive in today’s publishing market.
