Compassionate and effective editing services
You’ve done it. You’ve written your book! It’s a huge accomplishment that many dream of but relatively few achieve. If you’re not sure what to do next, I’m here to help!
Writing a book is no small feat, and getting it ready for publication can feel like a mammoth task. If you want the support of a friend and the expertise of an editor, you came to the right place!
As a writer myself, I understand how close you are to your project and how hard you’ve worked. My goal is to help you fulfill the vision you have for your book. When I’m your editor, I’ll be there to encourage you and give you the feedback your book deserves.
Services
Developmental Edit
This type of edit involves the big picture: structure, pacing, flow, consistency, character development, voice, and more. I’ll suggest edits and leave comments on your document, as well as provide an editorial letter that gives you an in-depth explanation of my feedback.
Line Edit
For a line edit, my focus will be on the sentence-level aspects of your manuscript: word choice, repetition, sentence structure, transitions, and more. I’ll suggest edits and leave comments right on your document.
Proofread
The proofread is the final step in the editing process! By now, your manuscript should be quite polished, so during this last review I’ll comb through and make sure there are no typographical errors or format inconsistencies.
Editorial Assessment
Not sure what your manuscript needs or what to do first? I’ll go through your entire manuscript and give you an editorial letter that outlines big picture suggestions and feedback that will help form your revision strategy.
Copyedit
The copyedit is an important step in polishing your manuscript. I’ll thoroughly examine punctuation, grammar, syntax, and ensure it all abides with the Chicago Manual of Style. Again, I’ll suggest edits and leave comments on the document for your review.
