Developmental Editing

A developmental edit is our mainstay offer. This is a deep dive into your manuscript, to identify and address what it needs to reach its full potential. This encompasses both big-picture and small details; we get into the nitty gritty at a line-level, as well as the large, overarching questions of your work. An editorial assessment is included in the developmental edit, and copy editing can be included as well.

What you'll get:

A thoroughly marked-up manuscript at quick turn around
A comprehensive editorial report evaluating the manuscript's strengths and needs, coaching you through your revision
A Zoom call to discuss all comments and questions
Ongoing support

Who this is for:

You're proud of what you've achieved with your manuscript, but now need someone in the trenches with you to help take it where it needs to go.
You're stumped in your writing
You're open to revising
You want the most detailed feedback you can get

Editorial Assessments

An editorial assessment is a detailed evaluative report on your manuscript, offering thorough and meticulous feedback on its plot, structure, character development, pacing and overall quality. It will zero in on your strengths as well as areas for improvement, and constructively address big-picture questions.

What you'll get:

A comprehensive editorial report evaluating the manuscript's strengths and needs, coaching you through your revision
A Zoom call to discuss all comments and questions

Who this is for:

You're at an early stage in your drafting and need an overview of what's working and what isn't, and how to address any problems or questions you might be encountering

Copy editing

This is an edit focused on the finer, line-level details of your work. It will get into the weeds of the manuscript, addressing consistency, readability, grammar, clarity, style and flow. Not a word will go un-examined!

What you'll get:

A thoroughly marked-up manuscript at quick turn around, focused on line-level edits
A Zoom call to discuss all comments and questions
