About this Gig
I will deliver a Structural Document Edit (also called a developmental edit, substantive edit, big-picture edit, or editorial assessment) to help you reshape your document to have stronger structure, clearer organization, and a more effective overall flow. I'll identify what's working, what's confusing, and what needs reordering or expansion so your ideas land clearly and professionally.
You'll receive:
- detailed in-line margin comments throughout your document
- revision guidance with restructuring suggestions (reorder, cut, expand)
- formatting support and document organization as needed
- our proprietary Blueprint and editing checklist to help you revise with confidence
This package is ideal for early drafts that need direction and clarity.
See my FAQs for more information, and please reach out before placing an order to confirm my availability. Please reach out for custom orders that include higher word counts.
I look forward to working with you!

FAQ
What qualifies you to structurally edit my document?
I have a BA in French and journalism, an MA in publishing and creative writing, and I’m a contract editor for a major U.S. proofreading service and have structurally edited hundreds of documents.
What is a structural document edit (and what isn’t it)?
A structural edit focuses on organization, logic, flow, clarity, and overall effectiveness. It is not sentence-level copyediting, nor is it final-stage proofreading.
What types of documents do you accept?
Academic papers, essays, reports, business documents, proposals, presentations (text), website copy drafts, and other general documents.
What will I receive?
You’ll receive detailed in-line comments, restructuring guidance, formatting/organization support, and our proprietary Blueprint and editing checklist.
Will you rewrite my document for me?
I will not ghostwrite, but I will provide clear revision guidance and may offer sample rewrites of key passages to demonstrate improvements.
Do you follow APA/MLA/Chicago style?
Yes. If you specify a style guide (APA, MLA, CMOS, etc.), I will adhere to those conventions as I edit.
Will you check or fix my citations and references?
I can check citation formatting and consistency and flag missing or mismatched entries, but I do not verify sources or fact-check content.
How confidential is this?
My process is completely confidential. I won’t share or reuse your content (NDA available on request).
What do you need from me to start?
Your document file (Word preferred; PDF accepted), word count, dialect (US/UK/AUS), and any required style guide (APA/MLA/CMOS).
Do you accept AI-assisted documents?
I DO NOT accept AI-generated or AI-assisted ACADEMIC work. The basic use of grammar tools (e.g., Grammarly, ProWritingAid) is welcome. I DO accept AI-generated content for non-academic materials (e.g., marketing or web copy) without a defined author.
