About this Gig

*Please contact me for quotes on longer texts.*

 

Want to give your writing a boost? Looking for substantive suggestions on how to help your text shine? Send your work to me! I offer two kinds of editing services: developmental editing and line editing

 

For developmental editing, I will carefully read your book, short story, or article and provide inline commentary with suggestions for rewrites along with a detailed, constructive critique addressing structure, voice, reader engagement, language use, and anything else I find that may help you develop your work to its potential. This service includes inline commentary and a separate editorial report (but not changes to the document).

 

For line editing, l will directly modify your text to assist with style, flow, and clarity of your work. Where appropriate, I'll add content such as transitions or limited amounts of exposition. (I'll also address grammatical issues as I find them.)


I have extensive experience with both fiction and nonfiction of all genres. Please contact me before ordering so we can work out which service is the right one to help you reach your goals. I look forward to hearing from you!

    This is my 2nd book working with Danny and I will be back for the 3rd one to work with him. He does such great work. He is very dilligent in learning your voice when editing and not just using his own voice. If you are looking for an editor this is a person you must work with.

    It was a pleasure to have part of my work edited by an intelligent, knowledgeable expert! It had been my desire to have someone that would perhaps not be in my typical reading pool take a look at it. He was able to point out many things I'd overlooked/hadn't thought of, and I look forward to improving...
