What I provide:
- Plot, structure & pacing analysis

- Dialogue, themes & story flow
- Detailed comments and actionable feedback
- Line editing improvements for clarity and readability
- Practical suggestions to strengthen your manuscript
My book editing focuses on what works, what needs improvement, and how to fix it while preserving your unique voice.
A developmental editor looks at the bigger picture and helps you make meaningful changes that strengthen the reader's experience.

Let's make your manuscript stronger, clearer, and more engaging.

FAQ
What is developmental editing, and how is it different from line and copy editing? Do you provide all three?
Yes. I provide all three. Developmental editing focuses on the big picture, including plot, structure, pacing, characters, and themes. Line editing improves style, flow, clarity, and readability, while copy editing focuses on grammar, consistency, and correctness.
What will I receive after the book editing is complete?
You'll receive an annotated manuscript with comments throughout your document. Depending on your package, you'll also receive detailed developmental feedback and an editorial report with practical suggestions for improvement.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction books?
Yes. I provide book editing for both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts. If you're unsure whether your project is a good fit, feel free to message me before ordering.
What file formats do you accept?
I work with Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx) because it allows me to leave comments and suggestions directly in your manuscript.
Should I contact you before placing an order?
Yes. If your manuscript is longer than my packages or has unique requirements, please message me first. I'll recommend the best package or create a custom offer if needed.
