About this Gig
Is Your Manuscript Missing Something But You Can't Figure Out What? Let Me Fix That.
You've poured your heart into your story but something feels off. The plot drags. Characters feel flat. Readers lose interest before the big reveal. That's exactly where I come in.
I'm Sarah, a professional developmental editor AND beta reader based in Manchester, UK and that dual background is what makes my editing different from everyone else on this platform.
Here's the truth most editors won't tell you:
Most developmental editors read your manuscript like a technician they check structure, plot, and pacing on paper. But they never tell you how it FEELS to read your book as a real reader. That emotional gap is where great stories get lost.
What Makes Me Different?
Unlike most editors, I bring TWO perspectives to your manuscript: A reader's emotional eye does your story grip and satisfy? A structural craft eye does your plot, pacing and arc actually work?
This means I catch what others miss emotional drop off points, momentum killers, plot holes and broken character motivations.

FAQ
How do I know if my manuscript needs developmental editing?
If your story feels off, pacing drags, characters feel flat, or you keep getting feedback that "something isn't working" your manuscript needs a developmental edit. If you're unsure, message me and I'll help you figure out exactly what your book needs.
What if my manuscript is longer than your package word count?
No problem at all. Simply message me before ordering and I'll create a custom package tailored specifically to your manuscript length and budget. I work with novels of all sizes.
Will you rewrite my book or change my writing voice?
Never. My job is to strengthen YOUR story in YOUR voice not replace it. I give you clear, actionable feedback and suggestions. Every decision about what to change stays entirely in your hands.
How will you deliver my feedback?
You will receive a detailed editorial report with chapter-by-chapter notes, specific plot hole fixes, pacing suggestions and overall story recommendations all clearly explained and easy to act on immediately.
What if I receive my edit and I still have questions or need clarification?
I don't disappear after delivery. I remain available to answer your questions and clarify any part of my feedback until you fully understand every note. Your success is my priority, not just order completion.
