About this Gig
Whether you're self-publishing or ready to start querying, I provide constructive feedback and a keen editorial eye. Let me give you a fresh perspective on your draft!
I have professionally reviewed and blurbed books for the better part of a decade, and I've got my finger on the pulse of what today's readers want.
What's included:
- Plot reviews provide developmental edits for plot summaries and chapter outlines, and line edits of the manuscript's first 500 words.
- Developmental editing provides an assessment document, 5 to 10 pages at minimum, identifying problems with structure, tone, characterization, and other "big-picture" items and offering strategies for improvement.
- The premium package includes a full manuscript markup highlighting problem areas, plus the developmental editing assessment.
My rates per 10k words are $100 for the standard package and $125 for the premium package.
Plot reviews start at $50 for books projected to be <40k words. Ask for a custom quote if your manuscript is longer.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing identifies plotholes and other problems affecting the entire book, such as structural deficits, weak characterization, uneven voice, etc. It offers detailed strategies to fix these issues.
What is a manuscript markup?
A manuscript markup directly highlights problem areas related to the issues found in a developmental editing pass, so that you don't have to go searching for them on your own.
What is a plot review?
A plot review is a type of developmental editing that identifies major issues with the planned course of the novel before you begin writing it. I highly recommend these for publishers using ghostwriters.
What genres do you work with?
I work with science fiction, fantasy, and horror in the chapter book, middle grade, YA, and adult age categories. I also edit YA and adult romances, erotica, cozy mysteries, and literary fiction. I do not edit picture books, poetry, or memoir.
