About this Gig
Well done on finishing the draft of your novel, poetry book or short story collection! Let's take it from draft to finished manuscript!
Low price, as I'm a new seller!
I've an insatiable appetite for reading & editing; I practically grew up in the local library.
Contact me with any questions, any requisites for your manuscript. Whether you want to pursue a literary agent or the self-publishing route, I can't wait to make your story impossible to put down!
Thank you for your attention and for trusting me with your novel. I know how big & scary a step that can be. I'll be constructive & kind, providing worthwhile and honest feedback as we edit a true page-turner.
With developmental edits, we'll focus on:
- the plot's big picture
- structure
- character development & arcs
- pacing
- premise
- narrative voice
- plot holes
- motivations, stakes, goals, & more!
With line edits, we'll focus on:
- conciseness, flow and rhythm in your prose
- (narrative) voice consistency
- continuity (important for series) and accuracy (gaining a hand after losing a hand; holding an object after having thrown it away)
- word choice
- repetition & redundancies
- spelling, punctuation, grammar, & more!
Let's get started!
