A developmental edit is an in-depth assessment of your manuscript. This type of edit offers an analysis of characters, plot, structure, dialogue, voice, and pacing. I provide in-line edits and comments using Track Changes, as well as an editorial letter discussing strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. To ensure we're a good fit, I offer a complimentary sample edit of your manuscript.

A line edit is a close read of your manuscript at the sentence and paragraph level. I'll focus on wordy or unclear sentences, lingering plot holes, point of view shifts, and more. Though this is not a copyedit, I will correct any grammar or spelling errors I catch along the way. A line edit is typically completed after a developmental edit or alongside a copyedit.

Proofreading aims to correct any editorial or typesetting errors that were not caught during copyediting or were introduced during final formatting. Proofreading should occur after developmental and copyediting. I can also proofread covers and promotional materials.
