Editing Services
Every great story deserves to shine. Whether you’re looking for big-picture feedback, a meticulous line edit, or that final proofread to catch every last typo, I’m here to help. My editing packages are tailored to meet you wherever you are in your writing journey, from the first draft to the final formatting. Let’s work together to make your manuscript the best it can be.
Developmental Editing
Shaping your story into the book you want it to be
Developmental editing looks at the overall shape and strength of your story: what’s working, what’s not right landing yet, and why. You’ll receive a 5–10 page editorial report, in-text comments on your manuscript, and a 30–60 minute follow-up call to discuss the feedback and decide how you want to move forward.
- Structure & Pacing: Does the story flow? Are the plot points landing where they should?
- Character Development: Are your characters believable, compelling, and emotionally resonant?
- Plot Consistency: Are there any holes or knots?
- Stakes & Tension: Is there enough tension to keep the reader turning pages? Do the consequences feel meaningful?
- POV & Clarity: Is the narrative perspective consistent and effective? Are we grounded in the right moments?
- Themes & Ideas: Is your story saying what you want it to say?
- Language Overview: Notes on grammar, punctuation, and style

Proofreading
The final polish before publication
The final polish before your manuscript goes out into the world. Proofreading is a meticulous last pass, designed to catch any lingering errors after typesetting or formatting is complete. This stage focuses on surface-level precision, not content edits — perfect for near-final drafts. I check for:
- Typos & misprints
- Spelling errors & homonyms
- Grammar & punctuation
- Capitalisation, numbering, & style consistency
- Misplaced or missing words
- Spacing & placement
- And more
