FAQ
Does this include a final grammar and spell check?
I focus on high-level 'big picture' issues like pacing, plot holes, and character arcs. If you need a separate polish for grammar and typos, we can discuss adding a line editing pass.
Will your edits change my unique writing voice or style?
Absolutely. While I specialize in the beats of romance and the world-building logic of sci fi, my primary goal is ensuring your unique voice remains the star of the show.
Can you help if my sci-fi world-building feels 'thin' or confusing?
Yes. My developmental feedback includes a deep dive into your world-building mechanics to ensure your rules are consistent and your readers stay fully immersed.
What exactly will I receive when the delivery is complete?
You'll receive a comprehensive Editorial Letter (usually 10+ pages) and an annotated version of your manuscript via MS Word Track changes for specific, line-level suggestions.
Can I get a sample edit before I commit to a full manuscript?
I'm a firm believer in the chemistry between author and editor. Send over your first 1,000 words and I'll provide a sample edit so you can see my style in action.
