She did a wonderful job with my short story! She really understands what makes a story "tick" and shows you how to get the most out of it! I will definitely work with her again in the future. Highly recommended!
About this Gig
I understand how daunting it can be to hire an editor, and how important it is for that editor to be the right fit for you and your story. For that reason I offer a free sample of your first chapter to ensure that we will be the right team.
I will provide detailed feedback on:
- Author Voice
- Plot & Story Structure
- Character development and arcs
- Setting & Worldbuilding
- Reader investment
- Dialogue
- Opening Scene/Hook
- Pacing
- Themes
- Plus any specific areas you want me to provide feedback on
I can also provide just line editing, or can provide a package with line editing included.
You will receive:
- Extensive in-line feedback
- A comprehensive report per chapter.
- An overall report highlighting your strengths as well as areas that I feel need developing.
Please note that I only work with Microsoft Word. If you have a file in another format please contact me and we can discuss how best to proceed. I do not provide clean manuscripts.
Please note that the pricing outlined is my baseline. To discuss a personalised quote for your manuscript please get in touch and we can discuss your personal needs for your project.
Very much looking forward to working with you!
Fiona

While Fiona was professional and kind, her feedback was less helpful than I had hoped. Her review was incredibly fast, both a pro and a con. While I appreciated the fast turn-around, her comments appeared somewhat shallow and consistent with AI feedback. Her feedback was literally half as long as the...
