About this Gig
**PLEASE MESSAGE BEFORE YOU ORDER: I'm happy to work on longer projects and to send custom offers where the price more accurately reflects your word count!
This gig offers BOTH line edits AND developmental edits combined at a discounted rate (with the same quality service!).
I'll focus on:
- Plot (continuity, plot holes)
- Structure
- Characterization
- Voice
- Style
- Clarity (& more!)
In your critique, you can expect:
- Genuine reactions to your writing (incl. in-line comments)
- Sensitively written critique (incl. positives)
- Comprehensive line edits (incl. in-line comments and suggested revisions)
- An editorial letter at the end of the document that summarizes/expands on my thoughts (250/450/650 words, changes with each package).
IMPORTANT: I only accept documents in Word format (.docx) OR Google Docs. If using Google Docs, I will make a copy and share it with you upon delivery.
NOTES:
- My revision approach focuses on the quality of edits to help you achieve your vision, NOT the quantity. I will use my judgement to decide when and where commentary is necessary.
- Longer projects are subject to delivery timeline adjustments
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
What genres do you edit?
I am open to editing ALL genres (except for erotica). I have most experience editing: literary fiction, contemporary, thriller, horror, YA, fantasy, and sci-fi. Please contact me if you're unsure!
My word count is slightly above XYZ package. Will you still edit my piece?
If your word count goes over the package offered by <1000 words, please message me before placing an order and I can draft a custom offer that more accurately reflects your word count.
Can you edit PDFs?
Unfortunately, no, as I need an editable document to leave comments. I only accept Word and Google Docs at this time.
Can I submit excerpts of a longer work?
Yes (but please let me know). Please note: if you send a partial draft, my critique may reflect that (i.e., I may comment on elements that are mentioned later). This gig may not be repurchased several times for the same story.

Rachel was wonderful to work with; she finished early and left more feedback than I was expecting. Her feedback was incredibly useful and she commented both on what needed improvement and what already worked, as well as offered helpful suggests on how best to address issues I mentioned I wanted to work...
