About this Gig
Is your manuscript finished, but something about the story still feels off?
I will provide professional developmental editing and manuscript evaluation to help you identify what is working, what is weakening the story, and what needs revision before publication.
I will assess your manuscript for:
- Plot and story structure
- Pacing and chapter flow
- Character development and arcs
- Scene construction and transitions
- Dialogue and narrative effectiveness
- Point of view and consistency
- Conflict, tension, and stakes
- Themes, setting, and world-building
- Reader engagement and overall story experience
You will receive clear, honest, actionable feedback explaining the issues I identify, why they matter, and how you can approach revision while preserving your unique voice and creative vision.
This service is suitable for novels, memoirs, romance, fantasy, thrillers, historical fiction, Christian books, self-help, business books, and other fiction or nonfiction manuscripts.
This is developmental editing, not proofreading or basic grammar correction.
Have a draft that needs a professional editorial eye? Send me your genre, and manuscript details, and let us determine the right approach.

A manuscript evaluation is a professional assessment of your manuscript that identifies its strengths, weaknesses, and the main areas that need revision. It is useful when you want clear editorial direction before undertaking a deeper edit.

This gig focuses primarily on developmental editing and manuscript evaluation rather than proofreading. If your manuscript needs a different type of editing, message me and I can help you determine which service is most appropriate.
