FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Think of developmental editing as a structural overhaul. I look at the "big picture"—your plot, character arcs, and pacing in your memoir novel. Proofreading is the final stage where I fix typos, grammar, and punctuation. For the best results, every manuscript needs both, which is why I offer them i
Do you work on both fiction and non-fiction novel or manuscripts?
Yes! As a specialized Book Editor, I understand that a manuscript is essentially a novel based on truth. It requires the same narrative techniques as Fiction Editing (like "show, don't tell") to keep readers engaged, while maintaining the integrity of your personal story.
Will I receive a Manuscript Critique with my order?
Absolutely. Every structural edit comes with a detailed Manuscript Critique in the form of an editorial letter. This covers my professional assessment of your story's strengths and weaknesses, giving you a clear roadmap for your revisions and future Book Editing steps.
How do I know if my book is ready for a Book Editor?
If you have a completed draft (or even a partial one) but feel that the "flow" is off or the stakes aren't high enough, you are ready! My Fiction Editing and developmental editing services are designed to help you take that raw "mess" and turn it into a professional, publish-ready manuscript.
Can you provide a sample edit before I commit?
I understand that your book is your baby. I offer a "Basic Package" which serves as a 6,000-word Manuscript Critique and sample edit. This allows you to see my Book Editing style firsthand before we move forward with a full-length Fiction Editing project.
What file formats do you work with for Proofreading?
I primarily work with Microsoft Word documents (.doc or .docx) so that I can use the "Tracked Changes" feature. This allows you to see every single edit I make from deep developmental editing notes to minor Proofreading corrections and approve them one by one.
Will your editing change my unique author voice?
Never. My job as your Book Editor is to enhance your voice, not replace it. Whether I am doing heavy Fiction Editing or simple Proofreading, my goal is to make your writing the best version of itself while ensuring your story remains authentically yours.
