I will provide comprehensive manuscript editing for your novel
Detail driven editor for stories that feel real from the inside out
About this Gig
I'll give your manuscript the attention it deserves sentence by sentence, scene by scene.
Manuscript editing is where your writing goes from functional to polished. I work through your manuscript carefully, addressing how your prose reads, how your dialogue lands, and how well your story moves. Every manuscript is different, so I tailor my focus to what yours actually needs rather than running a generic checklist over it.
My editing focuses especially on:
- Prose clarity and flow - sentences that read naturally and land the way you intend
- Dialogue - conversation that sounds lived-in, character-specific, and real
- Pacing - where your scenes breathe and where they drag
- Consistency - in voice, tone, and detail throughout
- Character authenticity - whether your characters' choices and reactions hold up internally
What you'll receive: Your manuscript returned with tracked changes and inline comments, plus an editorial letter summarizing key patterns, priorities, and strengths.
No content restrictions. Dark themes, explicit content, LGBTQ+ fiction, morally complex characters all welcome.
For manuscripts over 100,000 words, please message me before ordering for a custom quote.

FAQ
Do you work with explicit or dark content?
Yes, without reservation. Dark romance, LGBTQ+ fiction, graphic content, morally complex characters. None of it is a problem. You wrote the book you wanted to write and I'm here to help you make it better, not cleaner.
What file format do you need?
I work in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) using tracked changes. If your manuscript is in a different format, message me before ordering and we can discuss options.
What if my manuscript is over 100,000 words?
Please message me before placing your order and I'll put together a custom quote based on your actual word count.
How should I prepare my manuscript before sending it?
Send me your most current draft. If you have specific areas of concern or things you want me to pay particular attention to, include those when you send it over.
Will you tell me if my manuscript has bigger structural problems?
Yes. If I notice issues that go beyond the scope the edit (pacing problems, plot inconsistencies, character arc issues), I'll flag them in the editorial letter. I won't stay quiet about something significant just because it falls outside the scope of the service.
