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.

    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...
