I offer editing services for fiction and creative non-fiction.
This can include:
- An editorial assessment: a document which explains where your manuscript is strong and where it might need more work.
- A structural (developmental) edit to help polish elements like pacing, character arc, and balancing plot with subplots.
- A stylistic (line) edit to help refine the dialogue and voice of your manuscript.
To inquire about rates or other details, contact me here.
