About this Gig
Send me a message before booking!
Writing a novel is hard work, and once you're done, having an extra set of eyes on the manuscript can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking. My editorial services are designed to meet you where you're at on your manuscript and to make the types of improvements you want as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
I offer three levels of service to my clients:
The Edit level includes copy editing and proofing, as well as attention to voice consistency throughout. This is a standard final edit for those of you who feel your manuscript just needs some final touches.
The Revise level is perfect for writers who want to be publication-ready quickly but who know there's still a lot of work to be done on their book. I will rewrite problem sentences, fix up the flow, and have a clean, clear copy of your manuscript ready to go to the presses quickly.
The Develop level is perfect for career writers who want to go through the learning process of making their book better themselves. I will provide copy editing and big-picture developmental comments on each page, coaching you towards the best version of your book.
Let's get your book looking its best!

This is my second time working with Lillian, and I’m confident it won’t be the last. I am extremely satisfied with her copy-editing work. She has a remarkable ability to make a manuscript read smoothly while preserving the author’s voice. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a clean, polished, and professionally edited book.
