About this Gig
Looking for an editor to help you improve your story? I can help. It can be hard to entrust an editor to edit your novel, but I'm here to make the process as painless as possible.
Developmental editing looks at the bigger picture and analyses the major elements in a novel.
What I will do:
- Read through your manuscript twice
- Provide comments within the manuscript
- Make any appropriate changes using tracked changes
- Write up a detailed editorial report
My aim is to identify the problems in your manuscript, explain why those are problems, and provide solutions that will fix those issues. But I will also discuss what I liked about your story. It's just as important to know your strengths.
Areas I can cover:
- Pacing
- Characters
- Relationships
- World building
- Narrative summary
- Plot
- Beginnings and endings
- Dialogue
- POV
- Style
- Emotional impact
- And more!
Genres I specialize in:
- Historical fiction
- Contemporary
- Romance
- Mystery/Crime
- Thriller
- Fantasy
- Paranormal
I read adult, young adult and new adult novels. Please message me for other genres.
I provide a free sample of 2000 words. If you have any questions, send them away. I look forward to hearing from you.
