About this Gig
My premium service. You've gone over it a dozen times, but its still not popping! You don't need a grammar and spell-checker; you need a companion - someone to help you make your book everything you know it can be. This is Developmental Editing.
Just looking at a single scene at a time, well address structure, pace, tone, perspective, characterization, storytelling - the whole box and dice. We can even edit the whole book this way, but you may not need to. Take up my Structural Edit first, then well cherry-pick the handful of scenes that need help.
The Standard service is a critique with full markup of the manuscript to identify issues. Or maybe it would be easier to scrap the scene and start again. With the Basic service, I'll write you a scene plan. You can either write the scene yourself, or with the Premium service, I'll do it for you.
CONFIRM MY SCHEDULE before you order. All manuscripts OVER 5K must be placed by CUSTOM ORDER.
- Want to leave the scene as-is and just hone the language? Check out my line editing service?
- 14-day turnaround up to 5K words. Longer works and faster turnaround by custom order.

FAQ
Can I see examples of your work?
Sure. Send me the first 1000 words of a longer work, and I'll show you what I'm made of. For free.
Do you do Erotica and Romance?
Oh boy, do I? You bet. I'm the Storytime Gallery editor at the Erotica Readers and Writers Association. Getting readers' hearts pounding is what I do.
I don't have a lot of money. What type of editing should I get?
Editing covers Developmental, Line Editing, Copyediting, Proofreading, and Typesetting. This isn't Pokemon - if you're an indie on a budget, you're not going to "catch 'em all". Send me a sample and I'll advise you where you'll get the best bang for your buck.
Do you use AI or editing software?
That's a no from me. You don't need me to jockey Grammarly or ChatGPT - you can do that yourself. My work is 100% human. Guaranteed.
