About this Gig

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


My name is Harmony, and I am a developmental editor. I have a B.A. in creative writing and English, specializing in creative nonfiction. I also hold two editing certifications. Creative nonfiction is where my passion lies. I love working with memoirs, personal essays, inspirational/wellness, spirituality, and self-help.


A Manuscript Evaluation (3+ pages) is a detailed letter evaluating your manuscript's foundational strengths and weaknesses. The most important part of a story is its foundation. 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.


Areas of focus:

  • Character development
  • Transitions
  • POV
  • Voice and Tone
  • Theme
  • Flow
  • Story Structure
  • Target Audience


This service is for those who want a comprehensive overview of the overall structure and flow of the main elements in your story. You will receive all feedback in an editorial letter.


This does not include copy editing, line editing, or proofreading. No changes will be made to your manuscript.
