FAQ
What's the difference between developmental editing, line editing, and copyediting?
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture — structure, pacing, plot, and narrative flow. Line editing works sentence by sentence to improve clarity, tone, and readability while keeping your voice intact. Copyediting catches grammar, punctuation, consistency, and technical errors. Depending on
Do you offer a sample edit before I commit to a full package?
Yes. I offer a free 500-word sample edit so you can see my editing style and feedback quality firsthand before investing in a full manuscript service.
What formats can you deliver my manuscript in?
I format manuscripts to industry standards for both print and digital publishing, including layouts suitable for eBook platforms (like Kindle/KDP) and print-ready files for paperback or hardcover publishing. Let me know your target platform and I'll tailor the formatting accordingly.
Can you help me if I'm planning to self-publish?
Yes. Beyond editing and formatting, I offer guidance on the self-publishing process, including eBook formatting, layout design, and promotion strategies to help your book reach readers once it's live.
How do you preserve my voice while editing my manuscript?
My line and copyediting work is intentionally light-handed — I refine clarity, tone, and flow without rewriting your story in my own voice. Any bigger structural suggestions from developmental editing are offered as guidance, not forced changes, so you stay in control of your story.
What do you need from me to get started?
Please send your manuscript file, genre, word count, and let me know which service you're looking for (beta read, developmental edit, line/copyedit, formatting, or a combination). If you're not sure what your manuscript needs, message me and I can help you figure out the right starting point.
How long does editing or formatting typically take?
Turnaround depends on manuscript length, the service requested, and current workload. I'll always confirm an estimated delivery time before we begin, and I'll flag it upfront if a longer manuscript or rush request will affect the timeline.
Do you only work with fiction, or can you help with other manuscripts too?
My core specialty is fiction romance, fantasy, thriller, mystery, YA, horror, sci-fi, and more. If you have a non-fiction manuscript or another type of project, feel free to message me with details and I'll let you know if it's a good fit.
