About this Gig
Bring your fantasy or romantasy manuscript to its fullest potential with thoughtful, in-depth developmental editing. With 10 years of professional writing and editing experience, I approach every manuscript as both an editor and a storyteller, looking not only at what is on the page, but at how each element works together to create a compelling, cohesive story.
My developmental approach combines close manuscript reading, in-text editorial comments, and big-picture analysis. I evaluate plot and pacing, character motivations and arcs, romance and emotional development, worldbuilding, magic systems and lore, continuity, POV, dialogue, scene effectiveness, and the overall reader experience. I'll identify what's working, where readers may lose interest or become confused, and where opportunities exist to deepen or strengthen the story.
Most importantly, my goal is never to turn your story into one I would have written. I work to understand your characters, your world, and the experience you want to create, then provide clear, actionable feedback that helps you bring that vision more fully to the page.
Your story. Your world. Your voice, strengthened, never replaced.

FAQ
What do I need to provide before you begin?
Please provide your manuscript in an editable Word document, along with your genre/subgenre, total word count, intended audience, and a brief story synopsis. I’ll also ask about your goals, areas of concern, and any specific questions you’d like me to consider while reading.
Does my manuscript need to be finished?
Not necessarily! I can provide developmental feedback on completed manuscripts or works in progress. For unfinished manuscripts, please let me know your plans for the remaining story so I can evaluate the submitted portion within the context of your larger vision.
What will I receive with my developmental edit?
You’ll receive your manuscript with detailed in-text comments alongside an editorial summary outlining my key observations and recommendations.
Will you rewrite or make changes directly to my manuscript?
Developmental editing focuses on strengthening the story itself rather than rewriting your prose. I’ll identify areas that may need attention, explain why they may not be working, and offer actionable suggestions and possible solutions—but the creative decisions remain yours.
