Writer, Editor, Proofreader
About this Gig
Your story deserves more than a quick read-throughit deserves thoughtful, actionable feedback that helps it reach its full potential.
I provide professional developmental editing for Romance, Romantasy, Fantasy, and Thriller manuscripts. Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your story, including plot structure, pacing, character development, worldbuilding, conflict, tension, and overall reader engagement.
You'll receive detailed feedback designed to identify what's working, uncover areas for improvement, and provide clear guidance for revision. My goal is not to rewrite your story, but to help you strengthen it while preserving your unique voice and creative vision.
Depending on your package, you'll receive an editorial letter, in-manuscript comments, and personalized recommendations to help you move confidently into your next draft.
I am passionate about helping authors create immersive worlds, compelling characters, and stories that keep readers turning pages.
Please message me before ordering so we can discuss your manuscript and ensure this service is the right fit for your project.

FAQ
Q: What is developmental editing?
A: Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript, including plot, pacing, character development, structure, worldbuilding, conflict, and reader engagement. Unlike copy editing or proofreading, developmental editing does not focus primarily on grammar and spelling.
Q: What genres do you edit?
A: I specialize in Romance, Romantasy, Fantasy, and Thriller fiction. If your manuscript falls outside these genres, please contact me before placing an order so we can determine whether I'm the right fit for your project.
Q: Will you rewrite my manuscript?
A: No. My role is to provide professional feedback and recommendations that help you strengthen your story while maintaining your unique voice and creative vision. I may provide examples or suggestions, but I do not ghostwrite or rewrite manuscripts.
Q: What will I receive with my developmental edit?
A: Depending on your package, you may receive an editorial letter, in-manuscript comments, a detailed analysis of your story's strengths and weaknesses, and actionable revision recommendations. We will discuss what's included in your package before you purchase!
Q: Is my manuscript ready for developmental editing?
A: Developmental editing is most beneficial when you have completed a full draft. While I can review partial manuscripts, authors typically receive the most value from feedback on a completed work.
Q: Do you edit AI-generated manuscripts?
A: No. I only provide editorial services for manuscripts written by the author. This ensures I can provide meaningful feedback on storytelling, voice, and craft.
Q: Do you provide copy editing or proofreading with this service?
A: No. This gig focuses exclusively on developmental editing. Copy editing and proofreading address grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence-level corrections and should be purchased separately.
Q: Should I contact you before ordering?
A: Yes. I encourage all prospective clients to message me before placing an order so we can discuss your manuscript, goals, word count, and timeline to ensure the best possible experience.
