I will do story critique, developmental editor for litrpg, epic, mystery, series novels
Transforming your ideas into polished publish ready books that captivate reader
About this Gig
A strong story should keep readers turning pages not wondering where the plot went. My story critique & developmental editing for LitRPG, epic, mystery, & series novels focuses on the structure behind the reading experience.
If your progression feels slow, clues arrive too late, characters lose momentum, the world-building overwhelms the story, or later chapters do not pay off earlier setups, you may know something is wrong without knowing how to fix it. These problems persist because authors are often too close to their manuscripts to see the gaps clearly.
I read with an editorial eye, identify what is weakening the story, & give practical revision guidance without taking away your voice. I focus on plot structure, pacing, character arcs, mystery clues, world-building, continuity, chapter flow, series setup, & reader engagement.
You will receive clear, organized feedback, actionable recommendations, and an honest outside perspective designed to help you revise with confidence.
Why choose me? I combine genre-aware story analysis with calm, constructive communication so you get more than criticism; you get a clear path forward.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing looks at the big-picture elements of your story, including plot, structure, pacing, character development, world-building, tension, continuity, and reader engagement. It is different from proofreading or basic grammar correction.
Do you edit LitRPG novels?
Yes. I can evaluate LitRPG manuscripts for story progression, pacing, character arcs, world-building, stakes, consistency, and how the progression system supports the overall narrative.
Do you work with mystery novels?
Yes. I can examine clues, suspense, reveals, pacing, character motivation, red herrings, setup, and payoff while looking at the story from the reader's perspective.
Can you edit epic or fantasy novels?
Absolutely. I can review large-scale plots, multiple characters, world-building, subplots, pacing, continuity, conflicts, and the balance between world information and forward story movement.
Can you work on a series?
Yes. For series novels, I can look at continuity, character progression, unresolved threads, foreshadowing, book-to-book setup, and whether major developments feel earned.
Will you rewrite my story for me?
Developmental editing is primarily about diagnosing story problems and giving practical revision guidance. I will not take over your manuscript or erase your authorial voice.
Do you provide grammar and proofreading?
Yes. I can help with grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence clarity, consistency, and proofreading alongside developmental editing. If your manuscript needs both story-level improvements and polished language, I can combine the services based on your project's needs.
Can I send a full-length novel?
Yes, but please contact me before ordering if your manuscript exceeds the word count included. I can create a custom offer based on the manuscript's length and the depth of editing required.
What will I receive after the edit?
Depending on the package, you can receive developmental comments, story analysis, actionable revision suggestions, and an editorial report.

Mon expérience a été mitigée. J’avais initialement demandé une correction directe du manuscrit, mais je n’avais pas compris que l’offre concernait uniquement un developmental editing. C’est aussi une erreur de ma part de ne pas avoir suffisamment vérifié les détails de la prestation avant d’accepter...
