EDITING

A "dev edit" is an in-depth review of your manuscript at the big-picture level. I examine structure, plot, pace, writing style, character development, marketability, and more. You receive a fully annotated manuscript along with a thorough editorial letter — an explicit road map for your revision.

A typical evaluation assesses the whole of your project with an eye toward publication. Budget-friendly yet insightful, it's a great choice if you seek developmental-level feedback with a smaller price tag. You receive a long editorial report covering problems, gems, and recommendations.

A line edit refines language and clears clutter and confusion with  one purpose in mind: that your story shine with voice and vision  intact. You receive a thoroughly scrubbed manuscript, with edits and comments providing a clear trail of breadcrumbs to finalize your project and make it sing.

Time to query? Let's make sure your materials are strong and well-positioned for the current market. I can help polish your query letter, synopsis, first 50 pages, and/or book proposal. Create a package that works for your querying needs.

If you prefer one-on-one discussion of your work, help with planning or revision, or a live approach to editing, book coaching may be right for you. Coaching is customizable and available in single sessions or a discounted package of three.

Toward the end of book writing and revision, a beta read is key to ensure the manuscript is sound before querying or self-publishing. In a beta read, I answer up to ten specific questions ranging in breadth, depending on the author’s concerns.
