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 that includes handwritten annotations of my initial thoughts/impressions. After this step, I do a second pass, making any comments/suggestions I have to help you bring out the very best in your work going forward. If you have any specific areas you would prefer I 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 on your project, and provide 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!
