About this Gig
Developmental editing can reveal what your manuscript needs before you spend more time polishing sentences that may eventually change. If your novel has pacing problems, character arcs that feel unfinished, a confusing series bible, or a childrens story that isn't landing with its intended audience, I look at the story as a whole and help you see the next revision clearly.
I assess structure, plot, character motivation, pacing, continuity, chapter flow, tension and overall reader experience, then give practical feedback you can actually use. For series, I can also examine worldbuilding, recurring characters and continuity across the larger story.
I work with fiction, dark academia, horror, thriller, fantasy, childrens and YA projects, while also supporting authors with publishing, book design and related digital content. My wider creative experience means I can help keep your eventual book and supporting materials cohesive.
You won't get vague praise or a rewrite that erases your voice. You'll get an honest editorial perspective, clear priorities and a roadmap for revision.
Send your manuscript, genre and word count, and let's uncover the stronger story inside it.

FAQ
Do you only edit horror and dark academia?
No. Those are important specialties for this gig, but I can also work with fiction, fantasy, thriller, YA and children’s projects. Tell me your genre and intended readership before ordering if you're unsure whether it's a fit.
What exactly is developmental editing?
Developmental editing looks at the manuscript at the story level rather than simply correcting grammar. I examine elements such as structure, plot, pacing, character arcs, tension, continuity and reader experience, then provide actionable recommendations.
Can you edit a series bible?
Yes. A series bible can be assessed for organization, character consistency, worldbuilding, chronology and continuity. For a large or complex bible, message me first so I can confirm the scope.
Can you work on a children's book?
Yes. Children's fiction requires particular attention to age appropriateness, clarity, pacing, engagement and the relationship between text and the intended reading experience. I'll assess your manuscript with its target audience in mind.
Will you rewrite my story for me?
Developmental editing is primarily about guidance and improvement, not replacing your authorial voice. I'll identify problems, explain why they matter and suggest practical directions for revision.
Can you edit a complete novel?
Absolutely, but the appropriate package depends on the word count and depth of editing required. For a full-length manuscript, please message me first with your word count, genre and current draft stage so I can create an appropriate custom offer.
Can you also help me prepare the book for publishing?
Yes. My wider creative services can support authors beyond the manuscript stage, including book design, publishing-related preparation and digital content. This gives you the option of keeping your project with one creative partner as it moves toward publication.
