About me
I started developmental edit after realizing a serious gap. Editors always focused on the creative side but forgot the practical side, which is when writing a story, authors go with the flow, but when the book is ready and they spent money on cover, marketing, and editors, sometimes there is a realization that their manuscript is not optimized for platforms like Kindle, Kobo, and GPB. With this realization, I decided to do editing based on genre and tags available in this platform and help authors have a manuscript optimized for reader and algo.

Both titles achieved their rankings organically with no marketing spend, demonstrating the effectiveness of my developmental and platform optimization strategies. Best Sellers Rank: #25,726 Free in Kindl Store (See Top 100 in Kindl Store) #59 in Time Travel Science Fiction (Kindl Store) #83 in 45-Minute Science Fiction & Fantasy Short Reads #210 in Space Opera Science Fiction (Kindl Store)

No complaints. I'd definitely go straight to him when I have a full manuscript to work on.

Naik was really professional and thorough with the developmental edits. He delivered the edits within the indicated timeframe—which was impressive (70k words in a week)—and left lots of valid, detail-oriented suggestions. I’d definitely recommend working with him, and I think I’m going to choose him again for future projects.

Naik was incredibly polite, very timely, and has amazing attention to detail! There was a minor delay that he professionally and swiftly informed me about, and he stuck to the updated delivery date with time to spare (which is amazing considering the text that was sent to him was over 65,000 words long). 5 stars!!
