Fiction Editing
Developmental Edit
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
- Everything included in the Line Edit
Developmental editing includes a thorough critique of your work and any issues I point out will also come with recommendations on how to fix them.

Line Edit
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 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.

Nonfiction Editing
Releasing a nonfiction book has the power to position you as a thought leader in your industry. A thorough edit ensures your reader is focusing on your life-changing ideas, rather than being distracted by typos or unclear sentences.
Are you looking to take your book release to the next level? Look no further! As your editor, I will help bring your book to life and make it the best it can be.
With this service, you can expect:
- A thorough review and critique of your manuscript

I have been a full-time editor for over 15 years, working with a wide range of genres, from literary fiction to politics to finance. No matter what your book is about, I have the expertise to help make it shine.
Don't settle for a mediocre manuscript, improperly cited references, or off-base formatting. Trust me to make it ready for the best-seller list.
