I offer two types of editing

Developmental Editing

Once you've completed the first draft of your book, it's essential to receive honest, objective feedback. Instead of focusing on line-by-line edits, a Developmental Edit is designed to ensure that your manuscript fulfills the goals you set out to achieve.

​

For fiction, I focus on plot, structure, character development, themes, and dialogue, pointing out gaps and weaknesses, and making suggestions for improvement.

​

For nonfiction, I help organize the material and offer recommendations on how to best support your arguments. I identify gaps, highlight content that can be trimmed, and provide suggestions for restructuring. Additionally, I can assist with crafting chapter titles, subheadings, and incorporating visual elements for presenting data.

​Service Rate

$0.04 per word. A 70,000-word book would cost you $2800.

What You Will Receive

In-line feedback pinpointing what needs improvement, where arguments require more support, where the storyline can be strengthened, and other suggestions.

An editorial letter with explanations for my suggestions, questions to encourage further reflection, and resources to for you to better understand certain concepts.

A one-hour phone call after you review the edits to discuss your strategy for making revisions, as well as your following steps to get your book published.

After a Developmental Edit, authors gain clarity on the necessary revisions and feel reinvigorated and excited to continue refining their work.

Writing

Line Editing

After incorporating feedback from your Developmental Edit and completing any necessary rewrites, you’re ready for Line Editing. This stage involves a detailed, line-by-line revision of your manuscript to enhance clarity, readability, and overall flow. I focus on refining word choice, sentence structure, and style, ensuring your voice remains distinct while improving the impact of your writing. This service also includes copy editing, where I correct any typos, grammatical errors, and punctuation issues.
