I will developmentally edit and critique of your manuscript
About this Gig
There is nothing quite like the magic of a good book, where the world feels alive and the characters are allowed to truly breathe. As an avid reader and creative writer, I know an amazing concept shines brightest when narrative logic is seamless, pacing flows naturally, and characters act like real people navigating a real world.
Sometimes, common structural friction like a dragging plotline or a logic gap can pull a reader out of that immersion. As your developmental editor, I help you catch those moments before your audience does, tightening your story's architecture while fiercely protecting your unique voice.
What a developmental edit focuses on:
- Plot & Pacing: Ensuring clear narrative momentum and meaningful scene progression.
- Character Development: Tracking emotional arcs, motivations, and consistency.
- World-Building & Logic: Catching contradictions or plot holes before a reader does.
What you will receive (depending on package):
- In-Depth Margin Notes: Inline notes offering constructive feedback.
- Structural Highlights: Targeted annotations identifying areas of friction or pacing stalls.
- Master Assessment (Standard/Premium): A multi-page analysis with recomendations.

FAQ
Is developmental editing the same as proofreading or copyediting?
No, a developmental edit is a big-picture critique. I focus entirely on storytelling mechanics like plot momentum, character arcs, and world logic. I look at the foundation of your story, not your grammar.
Will you rewrite parts of my book?
No, I believe strongly that the story, voice, and words should be your own, and while I will provide guidence and suggestions, what you do with them us ultimately up to you. My goal is to help you elevate your draft while respecting your unique creative voice.
What genres do you specialize in?
I specialize in fiction, with a focus on romance and fantasy.
Are you ever willing to work with other genres?
Yes. What matters most to me are stories with immersive worlds and characters who act like real people. If you like my editing style but are writing outside of fantasy or romance, send me a message with a 500-word summary and I will let you know if I can help!
Can I provide a list of specific questions I want feedback on?
Yes! If there are specific elements, character arcs, or plot points you are worried about, please let me know when submitting your manuscript. I am happy to focus on those areas to ensure you get the exact help you want.
What file format should I send?
Please provide a link to a Google Doc with editing permissions. This allows me to use the built-in comment features to leave your in-depth margin notes and structural highlights directly on the page!
