I will beta read your manuscript and provide developmental feedback
About this Gig
If your story is a house, developmental editing checks whether the foundation is solid before we talk about the curtains. Most manuscripts need this more than they need anything else, and most authors skip it entirely.
Don't be like most authors; let me offer a fresh perspective and help you identify the gems in your work.
With an MA in Creative Writing, a critical eye, and a deep passion for narrative art, I will give you my honest reactions and actionable feedback on:
- Plot development and structure
- Character arc
- Logical flow
- Tone, pacing and emotional weight
- Asian cultural portrayal, if needed
- Writing tips for the revision
Although this Gig is designed for full-length novels, I'm happy to work on short story collections or novellas, too. Message me for a free sample and personalised quote!

FAQ
What genres do you edit?
I work with short stories to full-length novels across the following genres: Asian literary, historical fiction, magical realism, coming-of-age, cosy fiction, memoir/biography. But even if the genre of your manuscript isn't on the list, contact me anyway and we can figure it out together!
What file formats do you accept?
Typically, MS Word, Google Docs, and Apple Pages are great formats to track changes and leave comments. But I can work with PDF too if that's your preferred format.
Do you provide custom orders?
Yes! Drop me a message about your work (including word count), and I will make a custom offer to meet your needs.
Can I request a sample edit?
Sure! I offer a free sample for the first chapter. Message me to get your sample edited.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
100%. Your intellectual property is strictly respected and will not be shared with anyone, not even AI. I can sign a nondisclosure agreement if required.
