I will provide a comprehensive editorial assessment and line edit for your book
Literary Narrative Book Editor UCT Oxford Brookes Credentials
About this Gig
Prior to submitting to literary agents or releasing an independent edition, authors require a two tier critique: macro-level structural evaluation and micro-level line editing.
Combining First-Class Honors in English Literature from UCT with UK postgraduate editorial training at Oxford Brookes, I deliver an academic-grade manuscript review for literary fiction, memoirs, and historical manuscripts.
Two-Stage Editorial Method:
- Macro Assessment: Multi-page structural memorandum analyzing narrative trajectory, character development arcs, pacing, and chapter transition mechanics.
- Micro Line Edit: Direct MS Word Track Changes markup addressing syntax flow, rhythm, tone consistency, and mechanics.
Deliverables:
- Edited .docx manuscript with margin commentary.
- Detailed 36 page Editorial Memorandum.
Ideal for indie authors and writers preparing query packages. Contact me for a custom evaluation.

FAQ
Why is a structural assessment recommended before line editing?
Structural evaluations identify plot inconsistencies, pacing gaps, and character arc flaws that line-by-line proofreading cannot resolve.
