About this Gig
Are you looking for a trusted editor to make your work the best it can be?
Im Em! I have a First Class degree in Creative writing, a CPD certified diploma in editing and proofreading, and I absolutely love my job!
I will carefully read your story and provide inline comments and an editorial report regarding the key elements of your novel and whether these are working cohesively. Are the characters believable and realistic? Are there any plot holes? Does the opening and the ending hit the required beats to satisfy readers? Is the pacing slow? Is there a healthy balance of dialogue and action?
A developmental edit is key to uncovering any fundamental issues with your novel and providing recommendations on how to fix them. It is more detailed and specific than a beta read. I will work closely with you to ensure that your needs are met and to make your story shine.
Want to see if we're the right fit? Try a sample edit before we dive into a larger project!

FAQ
What's included?
This service includes inline commentary and a separate editorial report (but not changes to the document).
What's not included?
Copy editing and complete proofreading (but I will pick up some things as examples of what to look out for in these areas)
What's the difference between developmental editing and beta reading?
Beta reading tends to be more of a gut-check for the author. Developmental editing is highly specific and detailed feedback. Think of the beta reader as a general overview of the story, and a developmental editor as line, paragraph, scene, and chapter feedback.
What's the difference between developmental editing and copy editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of a manuscript. Copyediting, on the other hand, focuses on the technical details of the writing, such as grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. Copy editing should come after your story-level edits have been finalised (as rewrites mean this is wasted).
What dogs do you have?
Thanks for asking! I love dogs! My two spaniels are called Millie and Jessie. Both very different but equally loveable!
