I will provide developmental editing for your fiction manuscript
About this Gig
A strong story does not always need rewriting. It needs an attentive reader who can identify what is working, what is weakening the draft, and what to do next.
I provide honest, practical developmental feedback for fiction manuscripts. I examine structure, pacing, character development, dialogue, tone, comedy, continuity, and the clarity of the story's intentions. My feedback respects your individual voice rather than trying to turn your work into mine.
Depending on your package, you will receive:
- A clear developmental assessment
- Specific observations about strengths and weaknesses
- Practical revision priorities
- Annotations for Standard and Premium orders
I work with fantasy, science fiction, horror and thriller, humor, adventure, and literary fiction.
This service focuses on story-level development rather than proofreading or copy editing.
Please message me before ordering so I can confirm that the manuscript, word count, and package are suitable. For longer excerpts or full manuscripts, contact me to discuss a custom offer.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing examines the larger elements of your story, including structure, pacing, character development, dialogue, tone, continuity, and reader engagement. It focuses on how the manuscript works as a story rather than correcting every sentence.
Does this service include proofreading or copy editing?
No. This Gig focuses on story-level developmental feedback. I may point out recurring language issues when they affect clarity or tone, but I do not provide comprehensive spelling, grammar, or sentence-level correction.
Can you review a longer manuscript?
Yes, depending on its length and my availability. Please message me before ordering with the genre, total word count, and the kind of feedback you need. I can then determine whether a custom offer is suitable.
What does a revision include?
A revision covers reasonable clarification or adjustment of the feedback delivered with your order. It does not include reviewing a newly rewritten draft or additional manuscript pages unless separately agreed.
