FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the bigger picture of your book, including structure, plot, pacing, characters, organization, and reader experience.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. I can work with novels, memoirs, self-help books, children's books, and other fiction or nonfiction manuscripts.
Can you work with an unfinished manuscript?
Yes. I can review unfinished manuscripts and help identify areas that need development before you complete the book.
Do you also proofread?
Proofreading can be included depending on the package you select. Please message me first if you need both developmental editing and proofreading.
Can you edit a large manuscript?
Yes. For manuscripts exceeding the package word limits, send me a message so I can create a custom offer.
