Part One
Core Editing Services
Polish your writing until it gleams.
Developmental Edit
Before banter or em-dashes comes the heart of your story. Plot holes? Slow pacing? Forgettable characters? We'll fix it. Something wrong but you can't put your finger on it? We'll figure it out. A developmental edit gives in-depth feedback and guidance on the overall structure, plot, and characters of your manuscript, including motivation, goals, tension, and more.
Includes extensive edit letter and in-line commentary, as well as follow-up questions via chat, email, or Zoom.

Line Edit
Struggling to create snarky banter or gorgeous descriptions? Ready to master decadent fiction? I'll elevate the quality of your writing, focusing on description, dialogue, voice, word choice, flow, readability, point of view, and sentence structure.
In addition to in-line corrections, I'll type up an edit letter detailing the reasons, teaching you how to improve your own writing.

Manuscript Evaluation
A Dev Edit Lite. Includes an edit letter evaluating overall structure, plot, and character arcs. Addresses tension, pacing, motivation, and more, but in less detail than a dev edit (no chapter-by-chapter breakdown or in-line comments).
Mentorship
Need more than an edit letter? I'll hold your hand through every step of editing, bounce ideas, cheerlead, and mentor you from "what do I do" to polished manuscript. Custom designed package.
Sensitivity Read
I'll read your manuscript through my specific lived-experience lens.
