FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and copy editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the "big picture"—plot structure, pacing, character arcs, plot holes, and narrative flow. Copy editing focuses on technical details like grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. My service focuses entirely on story mechanics and developmental feedback.
What file formats do you accept?
I accept Microsoft Word (.docx) and Google Docs. This allows me to provide clear, color-coded in-line comments, margin notes, and annotations directly on your manuscript.
What will I actually receive with my order?
Depending on your package, you will receive: - An Annotated Manuscript with in-line comments and real-time reader reactions. - A comprehensive Editorial Report analyzing plot, pacing, character development, and worldbuilding. - Series Development Notes to track multi-book arcs and continuity.
Do you edit non-fiction or only fiction?
I specialize primarily in fiction across all subgenres (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, Young Adult, Contemporary, etc.). If you have a narrative non-fiction project or memoir, feel free to message me first to discuss!
Will you rewrite my manuscript for me?
No, I do not ghostwrite or rewrite your scenes. My goal is to empower you as the author. I point out where the story stumbles, explain why it happens, and provide actionable suggestions on how you can fix and polish it while keeping your unique voice.
