About this Gig

As a writer myself, I know firsthand how nerve-racking it can be to place your novel in someone else's hands. I hope that my experience can be a comfort to you, and that my services meet the needs of your story. If you would like to receive a first chapter edit for your novel at a low cost of $30, please message me as this can be a great way to see if my editing style matches what you're looking for.


This gig includes:

  1. Developmental edits: I will look at the actual content of your manuscript and provide in-line comments along with an edit letter after reading the work. This includes characterization, world-building, plot & structure, and voice & dialogue. Note: I do not write content into the manuscript. These are given as suggestions.
  2. Copy edits: I will also provide a copy edit that checks for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and general sentence readability. This will be done in-text via Track Changes. Please keep in mind this will allow you to accept or decline the suggested copy edits.


All genres are welcome. Prices may differentiate if your word count is not listed. Message me for a custom package!

    One of the best at what she does. Being a writer comes at a cost and you want bang for buck. Grateful I found an amazing editor using this app.

    This is the second novel I've worked with Lelani on and I love her vision for my stories. She delivers feedback in a very digestible way that is well though out, well laid out, and overall extremely easy to work with. Twice now I've sent my manuscript thinking it would be near perfect and not need much...

    A great breakdown of the first chapter of my novel! The notes gave me a lot to consider, it can be so hard to see this clearly when you've been in the writing trenches for months! Now I have som ideas for how to make some edits to elevate the opening. Thank you!
