About this Gig
Your story deserves to be as strong on the page as it is in your head.
You've spent months, maybe years, building your world and finding your voice. But even great ideas lose impact when pacing drags, structure wavers, or readers can't fully connect. That's where I come in.
I'm Rose, a developmental editor and book editor with 6 years of experience helping authors turn strong drafts into publish-ready manuscripts. Whether it's a novel, memoir, fantasy, or nonfiction book, I offer a deep structural edit that strengthens your story without flattening your voice.
As your developmental editor, I review:
- Story structure and pacing
- Character arcs and motivation
- Plot holes and continuity
- Dialogue, tone, and style
- World-building
- Tension and stakes
- Clarity and readability
- How to hook readers early
I also offer line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and professional book formatting so I can support your manuscript at any stage.
You'll receive:
- A detailed editorial report with recommendations
- Your manuscript with in-line comments
- Honest, constructive feedback
Whether you're prepping for agents or self-publishing, I'll help you tell the story only you can tell.
