About this Gig

Whether you're a seasoned author with multiple published works, or a working on your very first novel, a Developmental Edit is always helpful in making sure your project on the right track!


After sending me your current manuscript, I will proceed with a close reading of it that includes handwritten annotations of my initial thoughts/impressions. Afterwards, I will go through the doc again and make focused comments/suggestions to help you bring out the very best in your work going forwards. If you have any areas you would like me to focus on, please don't hesitate to let me know!


What's included:

  • A full markup of your project focused on improving plot, character, structure, flow and worldbuilding.
  • An Editorial Assessment - Which is a fancy way of saying I'm going to write a two page+ report on my thoughts, and constructive feedback on steps you can take towards making you project stronger.


I also offer a free sample edit to all prospective clients of around 500 words so you can see if I'm a good fit or not!


**Please note, that I do not use any AI tools during my editing process and would appreciate if you refrained from sending me AI written works. Thank you!
