DEVELOPMENTAL BOOK EDITOR
About this Gig
Your manuscript deserves an editor who understands both the craft of writing and the expectations of today's readers.
I work with authors who want more than a simple grammar check. As a developmental book editor and proofreader with a background in Comparative Literature, I help writers strengthen their manuscripts from the inside out.
A strong manuscript requires more than correct punctuation. It needs structure, pacing, consistency, and clarity. I carefully review each project to identify areas for improvement, providing constructive feedback and precise edits that enhance readability without altering your style.
What I Can Help You With:
- Developmental Editing (structure, pacing, plot, clarity, and organization)
- Line & Copy Editing (sentence flow, word choice, tone, and consistency)
- Proofreading (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors)
- Novel & Manuscript Editing (fiction and nonfiction)
- Professional Manuscript Formatting
- Tracked Changes and Detailed Editorial Comments
Every manuscript receives careful attention, honest feedback, and professional editing tailored to its specific needs.

FAQ
What types of manuscripts do you edit?
I work with both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, including novels, memoirs, self-help books, business books, biographies, and short story collections. If you're unsure whether your project is a good fit, feel free to contact me before ordering.
What is included in developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the foundation of your manuscript. I evaluate structure, pacing, plot progression, character development, clarity, organization, and overall reader experience. You'll receive detailed feedback and actionable suggestions for improvement.
Will you change my writing style?
No. My goal is to strengthen your manuscript while preserving your unique voice. I make recommendations and edits that improve clarity, readability, and impact without rewriting your work to sound like someone else.
How will I receive my edited manuscript?
Your manuscript will be returned with tracked changes and editorial comments, allowing you to review every edit and suggestion. This gives you full control over which changes you accept.
Can you edit a manuscript that is not yet finished?
Yes. I can review completed manuscripts as well as works in progress. If you're still writing, I can provide developmental feedback on your existing chapters to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
