About this Gig

Please message me before placing an order! Thank you!


A developmental edit is a thorough and in-depth edit of your manuscript. It is an examination of all the elements of your writing, from single words and the phrasing of individual sentences, to overall structure and style. It will address plot holes or gaps, problematic characterization, dialogue, ect.


I will pay special attention to the very beginning of the story (Usually the first 2 chapters) for an interesting hook, the beginnings of a plot, identifying the conflict, and the characters.


I will include track changes throughout the document for suggestions or questions pertaining to your manuscript. I will gladly accept any specific questions you might have or something you want me to look out for.


I specialize in romance, fantasy, historical, and light sci-fi in Adult and YA. Adult content is acceptable. Please no Non-Fiction.

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    Karoline did an excellent job with my project! As an aspiring writer, this was my first attempt at writing a fictional story. I have never dealt with a beta reader or editor before and didn't know what to expect. She was very clear with what needed to be improved and I learned a lot from reading her...
