Whether you’re looking for nonfiction or novel editing services, you’re in the right place. If you don’t know what your book needs or you’re looking for a more affordable option to start your editing journey, a manuscript evaluation is a great place to start. I will read your entire manuscript and provide an in-depth editorial letter that explains the overarching strengths and weaknesses of your story. I will also include recommendations for further editing services.

Developmental Edit
If you’re ready to invest in your book, start here. I will conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of various storytelling elements in your book, such as point of view, narrative structure, scene versus summary, dialogue, plot, and more. You will receive a marked-up manuscript with comments, suggestions, and example revisions, along with a detailed editorial letter that explains the feedback. Additionally, you will be provided with a book map, which is a scene-by-scene breakdown of your book that helps identify pacing issues, turning points, and cause-and-effect relationships.

During a line edit, I will revise your writing to address concerns related to wordiness, unintended shifts in tone and diction, word choice, transitions, and other language-related issues. This type of editing focuses on improving the quality of your prose by enhancing its flow, maintaining a consistent voice, and refining its rhythm and pacing.
