FAQ
What exactly is a developmental edit?
A developmental edit focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript, plot, structure, character arcs, pacing, theme, and voice. It's different from proofreading or line editing, which deal with grammar and sentence-level issues. Think of it as the foundation before the finishing work.
Do you use AI tools in your editing?
Never. All feedback is 100% human. I personally read and analyze every page of your manuscript. No AI is used at any stage of the process.
What genres do you work with?
I specialize in Christian books, romance novels, children's books, and general fiction and nonfiction. If you're unsure whether your manuscript is a good fit, send me a message and we'll figure it out together.
How long will the editorial letter be?
Most editorial letters are 3–5+ pages and cover all major areas of your manuscript including plot structure, character development, pacing, tone, and emotional resonance. Longer or more complex manuscripts may receive more detailed letters.
Will you fix my grammar and spelling too?
Developmental editing focuses on big-picture issues, not grammar or punctuation. If you need proofreading, copy editing, or line editing, I offer those as add-ons or separate packages, just ask.
How long does the process take?
Turnaround depends on your manuscript's word count and my current availability. I typically book 1–3 weeks out. Please message me before ordering to confirm your timeline.
Do you work with first-time authors?
Absolutely. I genuinely love working with debut authors. My feedback style is encouraging, clear, and designed to help writers at every stage, from early drafts to near-final manuscripts.
What file formats do you accept?
I work with Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) files. If your manuscript is in a different format, please message me before ordering so we can work something out.
Can you help with book formatting as well?
Yes! Book formatting is available as a separate service. Whether you need formatting for print or digital publishing, feel free to ask about it when you message me.
What if I need revisions after the edit?
My editorial letter and in-line comments give you everything you need to revise confidently on your own. If you'd like a follow-up review after your revisions, I offer re-read packages , just message me to discuss.
