About this Gig
A strong manuscript needs more than correct grammar, it needs structure, purpose, momentum, and a clear connection with its reader.
As a professional developmental and structural editor, I look at your manuscript as a complete work: what is working, what is weakening the reading experience, and what needs to change. I don't rewrite your book in my voice or flatten what makes it yours. Instead, I provide thoughtful, honest, and actionable editorial guidance that helps you make confident revisions while preserving your voice and vision.
Whether you're developing a novel, memoir, nonfiction book, or another long-form manuscript, I'll give your work the focused editorial attention it deserves.
What you'll get:
- Developmental & structural analysis
- Plot, argument, and overall organization review
- Character development and narrative assessment
- Pacing, flow, clarity, and consistency feedback
- Chapter-level observations where appropriate
- Detailed in-manuscript comments
- A clear editorial letter
- Practical, prioritized revision recommendations
If you're ready to understand what your manuscript truly needs, and how to strengthen it, I'm ready to help.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing examines your manuscript at the big-picture level. I assess structure, plot or argument, pacing, character development, organization, clarity, flow, consistency, and overall reader experience, then provide actionable recommendations for revision.
Will you rewrite my manuscript for me?
No. My role is to help you understand what needs improvement and why. I provide detailed, practical editorial guidance while respecting your voice, ideas, style, and creative vision.
Can you edit my entire book?
Yes. For longer manuscripts, please contact me before ordering. I can review your word count, genre, manuscript condition, and editorial needs and recommend the most appropriate package or a customized offer.
Do you edit fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. I can work with both fiction and nonfiction, although the editorial focus differs. Fiction may require attention to plot, character arcs, pacing, POV, and narrative structure, while nonfiction may require stronger organization, argument, clarity, progression, and reader value.
Can you identify plot holes and inconsistencies?
Yes. Identifying structural weaknesses, plot gaps, contradictions, weak transitions, continuity issues, and areas where the manuscript loses momentum is an important part of developmental and structural editing.
Will my voice and writing style be preserved?
Absolutely. I don't impose my writing style on your manuscript. My goal is to strengthen the work while preserving the distinctive voice, intentions, and personality that make your manuscript yours.
