Hello!

I'm here to provide a fresh set of eyes on your book as the first part of the editing process, helping you to understand the reader's perspective.


My developmental editing feedback will focus on a variety of different areas, such as:


  • The first chapter and opening scene: was it captivating?
  • How was the character development? Are your characters consistent?
  • The pace and plotline: did it progress well? Was anything confusing?
  • Dialogue: does it feel natural? What is its emotional impact?
  • Setting: how is the world you've created?
  • Target audience: will they understand the complexity of the plot?


What you'll receive from me:


  • My feedback will be provided in a Word Doc or PDF and will include quotations from the book, page numbers, and chapter numbers when discussing some areas in more depth.


If you have specific areas of concern, you are welcome to discuss them with me!


**

I only work with fiction novels.

My particular areas of interest and expertise are horror, thriller, mystery, and romantic fantasy.

I do NOT work with purely erotica books.

Thank you!

    Emily's attention to detail makes her better than most of the other editors I've found here.

    It has been a pleasure working with Emily on the copy edit and proofreading of my book. Emily was very proactive in asking for extra details or relevant other materials to help her deliver a really detailed manuscript. I look forward to working with her again on my next book!
