About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Please send me a message before placing an order so we can discuss your needs! I also offer Proofreading, copy editing, and an Extensive Edit. Ask about them!
I know the pain of writing endless drafts only to have someone point out a character inconsistency or problem with the plot.
A story needs a plot, characters, action, and conflict. Your protagonist needs goals and motivations. A good book has those elements while being appealing and engaging. I can help your book reach that level!
I want to help your book be the best it can and help you become a better writer by understanding how to tell a story, how to write interesting characters, and how to create conflict that will have the reader craving the next page.
If all of that sounds good, I'm the developmental editor for you. Send me a message!
I work with all genres, and I do all the work manually.
You will receive a Copy with Developmental Comments and a Review & Critique document.
See FAQ for more info!
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

Nicholas delivered exactly what he promised and beyond that. Looking at his work on my novel it shows the attention to detail, time and care he gave going through it, and his delivery exceeded my expectations and was what I needed to elevate my Novel and writing. He was very polite, understanding and professional throughout the whole process.
