FAQ
What is developmental editing, and how is it different from proofreading?
Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript—such as structure, plot, pacing, character development, and theme. It helps you improve the heart and flow of your story. Proofreading, on the other hand, comes much later and only checks for grammar, punctuation, and typos
Will you rewrite my story or just guide me with suggestions?
I don’t rewrite your story—I guide you with clear, detailed suggestions that empower you to revise confidently while staying true to your voice. My role is to support and strengthen your work, not take over your authorship.
Do you accept unfinished drafts or works-in-progress?
Yes! I can work with early drafts, partial manuscripts, or completed first drafts. If you're unsure whether your manuscript is ready, feel free to message me—I’ll guide you on the best next steps.
How will I receive my edits and feedback?
You’ll receive your edited manuscript with comments and suggestions using Track Changes (MS Word or Google Docs), plus a personalized editorial letter summarizing major insights, strengths, and areas for revision.
