About this Gig
Bring your book, novel, or manuscript to a professional standard with developmental editing that strengthens the big picture: structure, plot/argument, pacing, chapter order, character arcs, clarity, and reader engagement. This service combines developmental editing with a careful proofreading pass so your draft reads smoothly and confidently, ready for agent submissions, publishers, self-publishing, & Amazon KDP.
You'll receive: a chapter/scene-level critique, actionable recommendations, and margin comments highlighting what to improve & why; plus tracked changes for language fixes where needed. I focus on consistency (names, timeline, POV, terminology), readability, and flow while preserving your voice and intent. My developmental editing also flags plot holes, weak transitions, repetitive sections, and unclear stakes. Send your manuscript as a Word file, share your goals, and tell me US or UK English. I will edit fiction and nonfiction, including memoirs, short stories, & full-length manuscripts.
Extra edit & editing notes
If you want editing that elevates story logic and polish in one package, this is the edit that gets you there-clean, compelling, and submission-ready.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What’s included in your developmental editing + proofreading service?
My developmental editing focuses on story structure, plot, pacing, chapter order, character development, clarity, and narrative flow (or structure and argument for nonfiction). Proofreading covers grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency so your manuscript is clean and publication-ready.
What types of manuscripts do you work on?
I work on fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, including novels, memoirs, short stories, novellas, and book chapters. This service supports agent submissions, publisher submissions, self-publishing, and Amazon KDP manuscripts.
Will you use tracked changes and provide comments?
Yes. You’ll receive tracked changes (where appropriate), in-text comments, and developmental notes that explain what to revise and why. I also provide actionable recommendations to improve structure, pacing, and readability.
Can you edit in US English or UK English?
Yes. I can edit and proofread your manuscript in US English or UK English spelling and conventions. Just tell me your preference before I start, and I’ll keep it consistent throughout the book.
How do I choose the right package for my manuscript word count and goals?
Choose the package based on your word count and how much developmental editing you need. If you want help with plot/structure and pacing, developmental editing is best. If your manuscript is already structurally solid and needs a final polish, proofreading is ideal. Send a sample page & your goals.
