About this Gig
Vetted Pro
I'm a professionally trained developmental, copy and stylistic editor with seven years in the publishing sphere. As a full-time editor with literary agency experience, I am confident I can help you strengthen your work.
Bonus areas I include in each developmental edit:
- market research (competition, title use, etc.)
- marketing tips (for self/trad-publishing)
- tips for querying literary agents (where to find them, how to write a query letter, etc.)
- next steps (where do you go from here?)
- general publishing tips
A developmental edit includes a rigorous assessment of the following areas:
- the craft of writing (writing mechanics, logic, clarity, readability)
- plot/subplots
- proper use of exposition, interiority, description, and dialogue (+ tags and action beats)
- pacing
- act structure
- characterization/character arcs
- narrative voice
- correct use of point(s) of view (omniscient vs. limited, etc.)
- genre-specific requirements
I promise a friendly experience while ensuring your manuscript adheres to industry-standard guidelines.
