This is a perfect first step for any author who feels stuck, wants to better understand next steps, or who wants a plan for revising their work. I will provide a thorough editorial reading of your manuscript with notes and a plan with next steps for revision.

A high-level edit that analyzes the manuscript holistically. I pay specific attention to craft elements including, but not limited to, plot, structure, flow, dialogue, character development, clarity, voice, themes, conflict, and tension. A developmental edit is great for authors who want to dive deep into overarching challenges found in the manuscript to resolve these issues early in the writing process.

A comprehensive in-document edit where I use Track Changes to provide specific suggestions to your manuscript to accomplish goals discussed in Developmental Edit. This service is only available as an add-on to the Developmental Edit at this time.

A final edit as the last step before finalizing manuscript to catch any remaining grammar, spelling, punctuation, and typesetting errors. I recommend this service particularly to authors planning to self-publish.

A high-level analysis of a character or characters in your manuscript that reviews how the selected characters impact the story overall. I will look at background, character development, character goals and motives, relationships with other characters, and more.

A meeting to discuss ideas for your manuscript with another literary minded brain! We can talk about anything having to do with your manuscript during this session. Available in 30 or 60 minute increments.
