FAQ
1. What is structural editing, and how is it different from regular editing?
Structural editing focuses on the big picture of your story—plot, pacing, character arcs, scene flow, and suspense. Unlike line editing or proofreading, which fix grammar and style, structural editing ensures your manuscript reads smoothly, keeps readers engaged, and your story foundation is strong
2. What types of novels do you work with?
I specialize in mystery, thriller, and suspense novels, helping authors refine plot twists, pacing, tension, and character development. I do not work with poetry or screenplays.
3. Will you correct grammar and typos too?
Yes! Alongside structural editing, I provide editing and proofreading, so your manuscript is polished, professional, and ready for submission or publishing.
4. Do I need a finished manuscript for this service?
It’s ideal to have a complete draft, but I can work with manuscripts in later-stage drafts. For first drafts, structural editing is especially valuable to guide revisions before line editing or beta reading.
5. How will I receive your feedback?
You will get your manuscript with track changes in Microsoft Word, along with a detailed PDF report highlighting structural suggestions, plot and character notes, and actionable recommendations for improvement.
