I will edit your novel or memoir
About this Gig
I will thoughtfully edit your novel or memoir with a focus on clarity, flow, pacing, dialogue, consistency, grammar, readability, and emotional impact.
I am a published novelist who has completed two full-length manuscripts. My first novel, The First Thirty Days, was published in 2024, and I recently completed my second novel, which I am preparing to query to literary agents. I understand firsthand how personal it feels to hand your manuscript to another person and trust them with your story.
Depending on your package, I can help strengthen sentence structure, dialogue, pacing, repetition, continuity, tone, character consistency, readability, and overall reader engagement.
Most importantly, I do not want to rewrite your story into my voice. My goal is to help the strongest version of your voice reach the page.
Whether you want to test me with one chapter or need help preparing a larger manuscript for its next stage, your work will receive careful, respectful, and thoughtful attention.

FAQ
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No. My goal is to strengthen clarity, flow, pacing, and readability while preserving the voice and personality that make the story yours.
Can I send you one chapter before committing to the full manuscript?
Absolutely. A smaller order is a great way to see whether we are a good editorial fit before moving forward with a larger project.
Can you edit my entire novel or memoir?
Yes. After reviewing a sample and understanding the manuscript, I can create a custom offer for a full-length project.
What is included in a revision?
Revisions cover reasonable follow-up adjustments to the original submitted text. Major rewrites or newly added material may require a separate order.
What file format should I send?
Microsoft Word is preferred so I can use Track Changes and comments. If you use another format, message me first.
What does the editorial summary include?
A concise overview of strengths, recurring issues, pacing, character, voice, and practical recommendations for improvement.
Do you edit both fiction and memoir?
Yes. I work with novels, memoirs, and other narrative manuscripts, with attention to pacing, continuity, dialogue, character, clarity, and emotional impact.
Can you help if my manuscript is still rough?
Yes. Just let me know what stage it is in and what you want me to focus on so I can tailor the edit appropriately.
