DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

Whether you are looking to submit your manuscript to an agent, a publishing house or go down the self-publishing avenue, working with a professional editor will bring you closer to your goal.  

This comprehensive edit combines a manuscript assessment and structural line edit to give you as much feedback as possible to work with in the redrafting process.

MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT

You’ve finished your manuscript! Congratulations!

Perhaps this is your first manuscript, or maybe you have never edited your own work before and don’t know where to start.

If any of the above applies to you, then you may be looking for a professional manuscript assessment.

A manuscript assessment can be a budget-friendly alternative to a developmental edit, or it can be paired with a developmental edit for a full in-depth manuscript overhaul.

COPYEDITING & PROOFREADING

You know that mistakes in grammar, punctuation and spelling are hiding somewhere in those pages. But does reading through your piece over and over searching for errors sound like the last thing you want to do after you’ve just flogged out eighty thousand words? Let me take that job off your hands.

In a copyedit, also known as a line edit, I’ll look at the sentence level meaning of your piece, focusing on word choice, sentence clarity, logic and consistency of style, while also maintaining your voice and message.

In a proofread, I will carefully read through your piece to detect and correct any errors that have been missed, including spelling, punctuation, consistency, layout, spacing and typing.

BOOK COACHING

Are you stuck in a never-ending writer's block? Don't have the faith that you'll be able to finish your manuscript... ever?!

 

Did you know that the only way to even get your manuscript in front of a publisher these days is to finish it (unless you're a bestselling author of course, then you may do as you please). So let's finish that bad boy! With some steady coaching and mentorship from someone with manuscript writing experience, you can get there. I'll share all my tips and tricks to help you do what feels impossible (trust me, it's not!).
