Developmental Editing: Make Your Story Amazing


All editing is done 100% by me no AI, ever.


Do you need concrete, actionable advice to turn your manuscript into a story readers cant put down?

A developmental edit isnt about grammar or mechanics its about the story itself. Ill help you strengthen the heart of your book so readers stay up all night, desperate to know what happens next.


What I focus on:

Theme and emotional core

Story elements: hook, premise, characters, structure, pacing

World-building that feels rich and believable

Craft issues like head-hopping, POV consistency, and more

Smart use of tropes while giving readers the fresh twist they crave


What's included:

In-manuscript comments

Detailed editorial report

One-hour private discussion session


Rate is $50 per 10000 words.


My feedback is always supportive and encouraging.


I work on any genre and am completely non-judgmental. I have the deepest experience in Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance, Suspense, and Mysteries.


Proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association.

    It has been a pleasure working with Jen so far. She is quick, efficient, personable. You can't beat her pricing for the level of effort and recommendations she gives. I love how down-to-earth she is. Jen is just a lot of fun to work with. We still have some work to do (changes that need made on my part)...

    She never completed the order and didn't respond to my messages. After she was two weeks late, I cancelled the order. I was very disappointed.
