About this Gig
Hi there, and thank you for considering my gig!
After years in the publishing industry, I've developed a sixth sense for what makes a narrative truly captivating and I'd love to bring that expertise to your project.
I'm often asked why consider a developmental edit? Well, it's the critical stepping stone that can elevate your manuscript from a promising draft to a submission-ready gem. Whether you're preparing to query agents or planning to self-publish, this comprehensive approach addresses the fundamental elements.
When we work together, you'll receive:
A thoughtful, in-depth developmental report that shows your strengths while providing clear pathways for growth.
Also, many detailed in-line comments throughout your manuscript, offering specific suggestions right where you need them, especially on:
- Characters arcs
- Keeping your distinctive voice while working on strong character POVs
- Structure that enhances your narrative
- Sorting out plot holes
- Pacing, readability, and flow
I believe every manuscript has its own heartbeat, and I'm committed to helping you find and strengthen yours.
