About this Gig
As a developmental editor, I know that the first chapter of your novel is the most important chapter you will ever write. I also know how difficult it is to find the feedback you need to make your novel stand out in a crowded market. First chapters set the tone for your book and must hook your reader.
As your developmental editor, I can help you:
Create a captivating first line and chapter
Engage your readers by building a world they can believe in
Analyse and develop your main character/s so readers will relate
to them
Assure that the tone and language you use is distinctive and appropriate for YA fiction
End your first chapter with a bang, convincing teens to keep reading
Understand
if your novel will appeal to agents, publishers, parents and
librarians - the people who will be buying your book.
All feedback is in the form of an editorial letter. I will also provide a line edit (of 1000 words) on your manuscript using Track Changes if you have chosen the Premium option.
Let's work together to get your manuscript off the slush pile and into the hands of readers!
NB: Please contact me before ordering so that I can help you choose the best option for your book.
