Editing Services

My rates are competitive, my work thorough, but compassionate.

As I am also a writer, I know exactly how hard you’ve worked, and how important it is to be given clear guidance on where to go next.

I’ve critiqued and edited hundreds of manuscripts (references available) for novelists and non-fiction writers alike. I offer developmental editing—addressing all issues from plot and structure to character and scene development, with your whole project and an eye toward publication in mind.

What you can expect from a developmental edit:

• Personalized agreement that allows you to specify your concerns and goal
• Copious in-text comments with notes on the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses (not copy-editing)
• A comprehensive summary letter addressing all key issues
• A comprehensive summary letter addressing all key issues
• A 30 minute follow-up conversation included in editing fee (further consultations can be purchased)

Types of work I edit:

• Novels
• Memoirs
• Non-fiction books
• Non-fiction book proposals
• Essays and short stories
