I have been editing PhD dissertations and providing developmental edits for novels and books in the past 10 years. My undergraduate background is in English Literature, followed by a master's in Professional Writing and a PhD in Research Methodologies.
As a developmental editor, I'll help you enhance your story's core by focusing on the big-picture elements that make it compelling, dynamic, and engaging.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture aspects of your manuscript, such as plot structure, character development, pacing, and overall story arc.
What does the developmental editing process include?
I’ll review your manuscript as a whole and provide feedback on its plot, characters, pacing, tone, and structure. You’ll receive a detailed editorial letter with suggestions for revisions, chapter-by-chapter commentary, and any other insights I think will improve your story.
Will you do a line-by-line edit or grammar check?
No, developmental editing is not about fixing grammar, punctuation, or sentence-level issues. If you're looking for line editing or proofreading, I can offer those services as an additional option, or you can request them in a separate gig on my profile.
How long will it take for me to get my manuscript back?
The turnaround time depends on the length of your manuscript and the package you choose. Typically, I’ll provide an estimate once I’ve reviewed your manuscript's length. For longer works, we can discuss a timeline that suits both of us.
Do you offer revisions after the initial feedback?
Yes, I offer revisions if you need further clarification on my feedback.
Do you edit works in all genres?
Yes, I work with a variety of genres, including fiction, nonfiction, memoir, fantasy, and more. However, I specialize in helping authors craft strong narratives, so I may decline a project if I feel it’s outside my expertise or scope.
