About this Gig
> > Do not start a gig ! Contact me for scheduling first.< <
I've seen a lot of content! So why am I here? Although I have a pro site, I enjoy encountering new writers and helping up-and-coming authors. Let my experience from Hollywood studios to the biggest names in gaming work for you.
AI. Its the elephant in the room. Some think AI can replace human editors. Good luck with that. AI's are good at grammar checking and even copy editing, but developmental editing is a whole different universe.
AIs do not understand cliché, the subtleties of humor and irony, the intricacies of a character arc or world building, or the emotional resonance of sacrifice and denouement. Unless you're planning on selling your book to AI's, you need a human for a developmental edit.
Let's develop an ongoing author/editor relationship. I specialize in science fiction and fantasy, offering honed genre insights.
If you're looking for cheap editing by non-native English speakers who put your hard-fought words through an AI and charge you for it, look elsewhere.
I cannot take on everyone, but I do want to help those really seeking editing, not affirmation, and have a deep desire to improve.

FAQ
What kinds of questions should I have answers to regarding my manuscript?
Are you satisfied with the development of your world and characters? Are you confident in your communication of the plot? Are you unsure about literary structural issues? Have you had test readers? Is your manuscript reasonably proofed (for line edits)?
What is a developmental edit? What does it cover?
A developmental edit stands back, looking at the bigger pictures your story paints, like story, arcs and continuity, comprehension, plot holes, cliché, character development, pacing issues, etc. This, my specialty edit, usually manifests in numerous sidebar notes on the above issues and more!
What is a line edit? What does it cover?
A line edit is for manuscripts with refined stories and pacing. It's a labor intensive, granular look at structure, word usage, clarity, repetition, dialogue issues, point-of-view, etc. Some of these issues I fix, some require the author's hand. It's not a "proofread," and ignores dev edit content.

It is not actually edited that much, at all. Semantic overlap is 95%, which is fine, but without paragraph breakup and so on, it seems like a hatchet job more than an actual editing arrangement. Feedback on arc is misinformed due to not taking heed of prior communications regarding the story line, and...

I’ve worked with B.F. for a couple of years now. He knows the universe I’m creating reasonably well, but that isn’t why I keep coming back. I work with B.F. because he knows what it takes to tell a story. He understands when a turn of a phrase is good, when it’s misleading, when it’s not clear. He understands...

BF has been with me on this project for nearly two years. His institutional memory is invaluable but of course so his his knowledge and insight. I wanted a real assessment of the progress I made, and I got it. I can't recomment BF more hightly if you really, truly, want to perfect the craft.
