Developmental Edit
For novels & memoirs
As a published author myself and a prolific reader, I will expertly find any dangling plot threads, flat character arcs, and details that are repetitive or confusing and correct them, turning your good book into a great one.
In addition to my critique and suggestions, my edit includes the following:
- Polish your phrasing to be engaging and adhere to your genre standards
- Preserve your unique author's voice (no changes just for the sake of making a change)
- Multiple read-throughs to ensure I catch everything
Developmental editing includes a thorough critique of your work and any issues I point out will also come with recommendations on how to fix it.

Line Edit
For all genres
Unlike a developmental edit, which analyzes your plot elements and focuses on improving the story, the LINE edit is me improving your actual text. I'm fixing those run-on sentences and the punctuation. I'm checking for homonyms, misspellings, and awkwardly phrased paragraphs. In other words, I'm making your text publish-ready.
This is a service for nonfiction authors and for fiction authors who have already done the work of perfecting their plot in a critique group or with another editor. Now you're ready for the last step before publishing.
