I will developmentally edit your creative nonfiction manuscript

(Message me to request a free sample edit of 800 words or less.)

My name is Harmony, and I am a developmental editor. I hold a B.A. in Creative Writing and English, with a specialization in nonfiction. I also have two certifications in editing. Creative nonfiction is my passion. I work with poetry collections, memoirs, personal essays, inspirational/wellness, spirituality, and self-help.

As your developmental editor, I will go deep into the bones of your story to be sure it is strong enough to carry your message. I focus on the main elements that make the story come alive. I will provide substantive feedback with in-line comments on your manuscript in Microsoft Word. You will also receive a detailed editorial assessment (3+ pages) in a letter evaluating your story's foundational strengths and weaknesses. After an in-depth critical reading, I will offer holistic feedback and actionable steps to strengthen and root your story and voice so it blooms from the page. I am here to ensure your story is the best it can be!

I will focus on:

• Character Development
• POV
• Voice and Tone
• Theme
• Flow/Transitions
• Story Structure
• Target Audience Research
