About this Gig
I will professionally edit and developmental edit your sci-fi adventure story.
Struggling with plot holes or pacing in your sci-fi manuscript? I am a professional fiction editor specializing in science fiction and adventure. I help authors bridge the gap between a rough draft and a professional, "release-ready" novel.
What I Provide:
- Developmental Editing: A deep dive into your plot, structure, and "black holes" in the story.
- Word-Building Analysis: Ensuring your tech, alien cultures, and physics remain consistent and immersive.
- Pacing & Action: Polishing your adventure beats to keep readers turning pages.
- Character Arcs: Strengthening protagonist motivations and stakes.
Why My Edit?
I don't just fix typos; I specialize in sci-fi tropes and genre expectations. Whether it's a space opera, dystopian epic, or cyberpunk thriller, I ensure your world-building is airtight and your pacing is at "warp speed."
The Process:
- Submit Manuscript: Send your story in Word format.
- The Deep Dive: I provide line-by-line feedback using Track Changes.

FAQ
What exactly is a developmental edit?
A developmental edit focuses on the "big picture" of your sci-fi story. I look at your plot structure, pacing, word-building logic, and character arcs. Unlike a proofread, this edit ensures your story is engaging and free of major plot holes before you move to final polishing.
Do you edit hard sci-fi or just space adventures?
I edit all sub-genres of science fiction! Whether you are writing a "hard" sci-fi novel with complex physics, a dystopian thriller, or a fast-paced space opera adventure, I tailor my feedback to the specific tropes and reader expectations of your niche.
Will you fix the logic of my world-building?
Yes. One of the most important parts of a sci-fi adventure is internal consistency. I will flag any "logic leaps" in your technology, alien biology, or futuristic social structures to ensure your world feels believable and immersive to the reader.
Do you use Microsoft Word Track Changes?
Yes, I perform all edits using Track Changes. This allows you to see every suggestion and comment I make, giving you the final say on which changes to accept or reject. You will also receive a "clean" version of the manuscript for easy reading.
Can you help me if my story is over 50,000 words?
Yes! While my packages cover specific word counts, I frequently work on full-length sci-fi novels (80k-120k+ words). Please click the "Contact Me" button to send me your total word count, and I will provide a custom quote and timeline.
Do you provide a sample edit?
Yes! If you are unsure if we are a good fit, feel free to message me for a sample edit of your first 1,000 words. This allows you to see my editing style and how I handle your unique voice before committing to a larger package.
