About this Gig

Hello! My name's Sam and I'm here to edit your novel, whether it will be to proofread, copy, line or a developmental edit, or a combination of any of these. I can work on any genre, but as a writer and reader I specialise in sci-fi/fantasy, lgbt fiction, m/m romance and historical fiction. 


My service includes:

  • A standard proofread, copy edit, and line edit.
  • A developmental edit where I read through the manuscripts three times with three different perspectives to properly understand the bones and meat of your book (the first round as a reader; the second I'll analyse and edit characterisation, plotting, prose, thematic structure and more; the third I examine the inner logic of the story and find solutions to my questions, as well as assessing whether these solutions would do more harm than good if implemented) {you can find more detailed information of my process above in the pictures}
  • To offer advice and support to the author
  • I can also do Editorial Assessments if that's something you're looking f


I will edit for any word count and measure the price by word count so please contact me. I also do paid samples of your work at any size, so please contact me for that.

    Sam read my entire novel and gave excellent feedback and this time I asked him to read the beginning chapters and give me detailed feedback on how to improve them. I'm very happy with that work.
