FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing focuses on the "big picture" like story structure, pacing, and character arcs. Proofreading is the final step to catch spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. This gig offers both to ensure your manuscript is structurally sound and technically perfect.
Do you work on both fiction and non-fiction?
Yes. I have extensive experience with fiction (Fantasy, Romance, Thrillers) and non-fiction (Self-help, Memoirs, Business). Each genre has its own "rules," and I adapt my editing style to fit your specific audience and goals.
Will I be able to see the changes you made?
Absolutely. I use the "Track Changes" feature in Microsoft Word. You will receive two documents: one showing every edit and comment I made, and a "clean" version with all changes accepted so you can read the final result easily.
Can you handle large manuscripts or full-length novels?
Definitely. While my packages are set for specific word counts, I frequently work on full-length books. Please message me with your total word count and I will send you a custom offer tailored to your project.
Do you offer a sample edit?
Yes, I offer a paid sample edit (usually 1,000 words). This allows us to see if my editing style aligns with your creative vision before committing to a full manuscript. Feel free to message me to set this up.
