Developmental Editing Services
Whether you're an indie or traditional author looking for big picture edits, I am here to help you bring your manuscript to the next level. I focus on evaluating elements such as POV, characterization, pacing, voice, plot structure, world-building, and audience alignment while providing actionable feedback, recommendations, examples, and overall support. Budget friendly options are available to those who want professional advice on how to hit the ground running before investing in a full edit.
I encourage you to get a free sample edit of up to 1,500 words so you can get an idea of my process and style prior to booking.
I am certified in Developmental Editing through the EFA (Editorial Freelancers Association) with a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in English from Thomas Edison State University. I have a portfolio of unofficial developmental edits (prior to certification) and a few professional edits under my belt.
Specializing in fiction (fantasy, romance, dark academia, paranormal, etc.) and creative nonfiction (memoirs, etc.)
Immediate openings available!
