Gothic fantasy
Soft magic systems
YA and adult fictions
My focus is on strengthening:
Character arcs and emotional depth

You will receive detailed, in-depth feedback addressing what is working, what needs refinement, and clear suggestions for improvement. My goal is to help you shape a compelling, immersive story that resonates with readers.
Please note:
If your manuscript relies heavily on dense historical timelines, extensive political systems, or highly technical magic rule structures, I may not be the best fit.
Before ordering, feel free to message me with your word count and a short description of your project.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of your story: structure, pacing, character arcs, emotional stakes, and worldbuilding clarity. I do not correct grammar in detail at this stage. Instead, I help shape your manuscript into a stronger, more cohesive narrative.
Do you edit epic or high fantasy with complex political systems?
My specialty is character-driven fantasy, urban fantasy, romantic fantasy, and soft magic systems. If your manuscript relies heavily on multi-era lore, intricate political histories, or highly technical magic rule systems, please message me before ordering to ensure we are a good fit.
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No. I provide detailed feedback, suggestions, and in-text comments. The revision remains in your voice. My goal is to strengthen your storytelling, not replace it.
Do you work with first-time authors?
Yes. Many of my clients are debut or indie authors preparing for self-publishing. I aim to provide clear, respectful, and constructive feedback.
