About this Gig
Are you an indie author with a finished draft, but you're not sure if the plot, pacing, characters, or emotional arc are fully working yet?
I offer thoughtful, constructive, and supportive developmental editing to help you see your manuscript more clearly and revise with confidence.
This service focuses on the big-picture elements of your story, including:
- Plot and structure
- Character development
- Pacing and tension
- Conflict and stakes
- Emotional impact
- Reader engagement
- Scene progression
- Key revision priorities
You will receive a detailed editorial report highlighting what is working, what may need strengthening, and practical suggestions for your next draft.
Please note: this is not a line edit or proofread. I do not correct every grammar, spelling, or punctuation issue. This service focuses on the story as a whole before sentence-level editing.
My goal is to help you strengthen the heart of your book while preserving your unique voice, vision, and creative intent.

FAQ
What format should I provide my manuscript in?
MS Word would be ideal. However, I can also work with Google docs.
What if my manuscript is incomplete?
Not a problem at all! In fact, getting a second pair of eyes on your draft early in the process can offer valuable insights that help shape and strengthen your story’s foundation.
What is included in your in-line edits?
As I read through your manuscript, I’ll leave inline comments that offer real-time insights on tone, emotion, dialogue, pacing, character consistency, and more. Think of it as a live developmental edit—you're getting my honest, constructive reactions and suggestions as they naturally unfold.
What is included in your detailed report?
What You’ll Receive in My Developmental Feedback: ✦ Analysis of plot and pacing, including three-act structure alignment ✦ Character development and consistency ✦ Dialogue flow and authenticity ✦ Setting and world-building effectiveness ✦ Narrative
How would you analyze my characters?
Creating introspective, emotionally grounded characters is my specialty. I’ll focus on key elements like description, personality, flaws, unique traits, and emotional depth. I pay close attention to how character development unfolds through both introspection and action.
What if my book is 100k+ words?
Flexible pricing available! Feel free to reach out for a custom quote. I'm happy to work within your budget to find the right fit for your project.
Will you sign an NDA?
As a fellow writer, I understand how vulnerable it feels to share your work with someone new. Your manuscript will always be treated with the utmost confidentiality. If you'd prefer extra peace of mind, I'm more than happy to sign an NDA upon request.

Another brilliant experience with Ann-Elizabeth. I've used her before and whilst this book was not fiction based and rather niche as a project management guide - she was able to perform beyond what I had asked for despite not perhaps having the very specific topics I was discussing at length throughout....

Ann-Elizabeth’s report and in-line comments were extremely thorough. We talked a bit beforehand on my concerns and what I needed outside perspective on. She was able to tailor her feedback to those exact needs which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be making lots of edits to improve in the areas she pointed out.

She gave an extensive reader report that had very helpful insights and perceptive character development suggestions. I was...
