Editorial Services

This typically comes right before your first edit but can be done at any time in the editing process. With a manuscript critique, I will provide general feedback on things such as reader expectations, plot holes, character development, and more. It includes an overview of the reading experience and how I perceived the book as a reader. Sensitivity reading can be included upon request.

A developmental edit looks at the big picture. This edit addresses things like plot inconsistencies, character arcs, pacing, and genre expectations. With this service, I provide an in-depth look at your manuscript and offer concrete solutions. Developmental editing also provides in-line suggestions and edits that target more specific issues in the manuscript. 

This service focuses on the language used in your manuscript. It's meant to polish your writing and make sure each sentence is as effective as possible. It assesses word choice, sentence flow, and tone based on your writing style. I also look for repetition, overuse of clichés, and clarifying plot as it has to do with language.
