Editing Services

Developmental Editing is a full package, where we look at the overall novel and examine it layer by layer, to fully comprehend character arcs, plot, pacing, voice, triggers, reader expectations, and inconsistencies. My pattern recognition helps find overused words, consistent character language, repeated sentence structures or words, and unresolved threads.

Working hand in hand, chapter by chapter, I’ll not only edit each chapter once - we rework the chapters until we get it right.

Proofreading is included as a part of the package.

Proofreading is the fine-tuning of a document before it is published.

Typos, formatting, punctuation, and spelling are rigorously controlled.  Proofreading is essential to the editing process, whether it's a manuscript, query letter, advertisement, or an online article.
