I will provide developmental editing for your fiction novel
About this Gig
Every novel has a story at its heart. My job is to help you bring that story to its fullest potential while preserving your creative vision.
I offer developmental editing and manuscript evaluation for fiction writers who want to strengthen their stories. I'll look at the elements that make a novel work: plot and structure, character development, pacing, conflict, and narrative cohesion.
My feedback is thoughtful, honest, and actionable, helping you identify what's working, where the story could be stronger, and how to approach revisions.
With a BA in English, an MA in Novel Writing, and two decades of experience in fiction writing, manuscript development, and literary analysis, I bring both a writer's perspective and an editor's eye to your work.
I work with commercial and upmarket fiction, women's fiction, speculative fiction, light fantasy, romance, young adult, and middle-grade novels.
Your story is yours. My goal is to help you make it the strongest version of itself.

FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing focuses on the story itself, including plot, structure, character development, pacing, and narrative cohesion. It does not replace copy editing or proofreading.
Will you change my writing style or creative vision?
No. My goal is to strengthen your story while preserving your voice, intentions, and creative vision. Feedback is designed to help you make informed revision decisions.
What will I receive?
You'll receive written feedback appropriate to your selected package, highlighting strengths, areas for improvement, and actionable suggestions for revision.
Can you edit my entire novel?
Available word counts depend on the package selected. If your manuscript exceeds the package limit or requires a full developmental edit, contact me to discuss a custom offer.
Do you guarantee publication or agent representation?
No editor can guarantee publication or representation. My aim is to help you strengthen your manuscript and prepare it for the next stage of your writing journey.
What should I send before you begin?
Please provide your manuscript or excerpt, along with a brief synopsis and any particular concerns you'd like me to consider. Please ensure your file is in an editable format.
