Editing Services

How can I help?

WELCOME TO MY EDITING SERVICES

Are you looking to elevate your manuscript to its fullest potential? I specialise in two critical areas of editing: developmental editing and line editing. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I help authors refine their work so they can captivate readers and fulfill their creative vision.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

I offer a developmental editing service that digs deeply into the structural elements of your manuscript. From plot intricacies to character arcs, theme exploration, to narrative consistency. I will provide insightful feedback and constructive suggestions that strengthen the foundation of your story.

LINE EDITING

Crafting prose that flows seamlessly and resonates with readers is our specialty. Through meticulous line editing, I can enhance your writing style, refine your voice, address awkward phrasing and repetition, and transform passive constructions into vibrant, engaging prose. Dialogue and narrative pacing are honed to ensure every word serves your story's purpose.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

• Expertise: With years of experience in literary analysis and creative writing, I bring a deep understanding of narrative techniques and storytelling dynamics.

• Collaborative Approach: I work closely with you, respecting your unique voice and creative vision while offering professional guidance and support.

• Commitment to Excellence: My goal is to help you achieve literary excellence. I am passionate about every manuscript I work on, dedicated to refining your story into its best possible version.

READY TO GET STARTED?

The author/editor relationship is a collaborative partnership aimed at enhancing the quality of a manuscript. This dynamic is characterised by mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to realising the author's vision while improving the text. With that in mind, the first thing we need to do is see if we are a good fit for each other.

Simply go to my contact page and tell me the following and tell me the following:

I will return your 2000 words with a sample of my editing work and long with a quote with a price for editing the entire manuscript.

Understanding Editors

Developmental editors focus on the overall structure, content, and narrative flow of a manuscript, helping authors enhance their stories or arguments.

Line editors work on the prose at the sentence level, improving clarity, style, and voice to ensure that the writing is engaging and effective.

Copy editors check for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency, ensuring that the manuscript adheres to specific style guidelines and is polished for publication.

Proofreaders performs final checks on a manuscript to catch any remaining typos, formatting errors, and inconsistencies before it goes to print or digital release.
