About this Gig
HELLO THERE,
Is your book feeling disorganized, slow-paced, confusing, or lacking the impact you envisioned? Many manuscripts have great ideas but struggle with structure, flow, pacing, and reader engagement. That's where I can help.
I will professionally developmental edit your manuscript to identify what's preventing your book from reaching its full potential. Whether your chapters feel disconnected, your story drags in places, or your message isn't landing as strongly as it should, I'll provide clear, actionable feedback to help you improve it.
With my developmental editing service, you will receive:
- In-depth structural analysis
- Flow and pacing improvements
- Chapter and scene evaluation
- Plot, character, or content development feedback
- Reader engagement recommendations
- Detailed editorial comments and suggestions
I work with fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, and self-help books. My feedback is honest, constructive, and focused on helping you create a stronger, more engaging manuscript that readers will enjoy from beginning to end.
If you're ready to turn a good manuscript into a great one, send me a message and let's strengthen your book together.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript, including structure, organization, pacing, flow, plot, character development, and reader engagement. It helps strengthen your book before line editing or proofreading.
What types of books do you edit?
I edit fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, self-help books, biographies, and other long-form manuscripts. Feel free to contact me if you're unsure whether your project is a good fit.
Will you rewrite my book?
No. Developmental editing is not ghostwriting or rewriting. I provide detailed feedback, suggestions, and recommendations to help you improve your manuscript while preserving your unique voice and style.
Do you provide proofreading or copy editing?
This gig focuses on developmental editing. If you need proofreading, copy editing, or line editing, please contact me to discuss the best option for your manuscript.
How do I know if my manuscript needs developmental editing?
If you're concerned about pacing, structure, organization, clarity, reader engagement, plot development, or overall manuscript effectiveness, developmental editing is often the best place to start.

This is the first project I have worked with Sophie on and will for sure not be the last one. She immediately understood what the intent of the manuscript was and gave expert advice on how to develop the project in a meaningful way. Sadly only 5* can be given :)
