Editing

THE END.

Isn’t it a thrill to write those words at the end of your first draft? But then you wonder, what do I do next? You want to strengthen your plot, character arcs, and worldbuilding before querying or publishing your manuscript, but how do you actually do that? You’ve spent so much time (and energy!) on this project already, you need to be strategic about what needs your attention if you want to stay on the road towards publication, not burnout.

I studied for fifteen months at the University of Chicago to become an editor. I’ve learned story structure, characterization, and setting inside and out. I will be your manuscript’s diagnostician, and guide it toward perfect health.

What I'm offering

You’ll send me your manuscript, and I’ll send you back

A written report detailing your work’s strengths and weaknesses
Evaluation of your plot structure, character arcs, and worldbuilding
If you opt for a full developmental edit, you will also receive scene-by-scene annotation of your manuscript

I am currently offering a limited number of highly discounted slots. I will read your manuscript and provide a developmental edit in exchange a fee of only $200 plus a testimonial and/or feedback on my service.

For this offer, I’m looking for writers who have completed first or second drafts who are open to and excited about feedback. Go to my Contact page to apply!
