THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR STORY.
As a publisher and editor, I am a firm believer that every person has a voice that deserves to be heard.
Do you want to strengthen your novel’s themes, character arcs, and pacing? Do you need a final proofread? Do you need a query critique before you send it to your dream agent? Or maybe you aren’t sure where to start but want to progress your writing career?
I am here to help!
I am an experienced freelance editor, and bestselling author, and I own a successful publishing company! I love discussing projects with my clients and have experience in a variety of genres. Ready to take the next step in your author journey?
DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT
A developmental edit is an in-depth analysis of your novel as a whole. This is the most intense edit. It is perfect for new authors or authors looking to take their writing skills to a new level.
Before I edit your novel, we will discuss your vision for your novel, and I am available for an optional email (or call!) after I return your edits for 30-60 minutes if you have any questions or want to brainstorm details about my critiques.
For this edit, you will receive…
- A Big-Picture Developmental Edit. I will read your manuscript with an eye for big-picture areas, such as; plot, characterization, setting, themes, marketability, pacing, and more. I will point out areas that need to be strengthened (or cut) and scenes that make the story stronger.
- A 5+ page breakdown of my assessments that discusses the plot, setting, themes, and more. If your main character lacked a strong arc, I’ll point it out. If your plot sags in some parts, I’ll offer suggestions to fix it. If your world building is confusing, I’m here to help!
