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.

FAQ
What is your editing style?
If you also want proofreading/copy editing: I want to leave your voice and style intact. So I only change things if they are incorrect, vague, or awkward. I use a light hand as far as line editing is concerned so that your book maintains your unique voice!
This gig does not offer the following:
Proofreading. Copy Editing. Line Editing. Creative Rewrites. Referencing. Formatting. Ghostwriting. Revisions.
What is a "Pro" gig?
A Fiverr "Pro" gig means that the seller has been hand-vetted and verified as a professional in that particular industry. Only 1% of applicants (that's me!) get accepted to Fiverr Pro, so you can be sure you'll receive an incredibly high level of service!
What does your developmental editing cover?
A broad look at your story, character development, pacing, and plot development with notes and suggestions for improvements and positive comments about what is working!
What file type do I need to submit my manuscript in?
I require a Microsoft Word file of your document.
If I have written a series, would you edit the entire series?
Absolutely! We can certainly work out a custom order for more than one manuscript! If you mention ahead of time that you have a series, I can offer a discount!
Do you edit other genres?
I will edit and proofread any genre. Including: Fiction: literary, historical, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, YA, horror, poetry, short stories Nonfiction: business, self-help, inspirational, spirituality, Christian, memoir, tech

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.

Nicholas delivered exactly what I was hoping for: helpful, high-level feedback but also chapter-by-chapter commentary. The result? I know exactly where to go next.

Your mileage might vary. For me though, I found it underwhelming. He does provide helpful and useful criticism and does include resources I've started looking at. He was honest and mentioned he had two orders ahead. I approved an extension and was happy when he finished early. However, the final product...
