If you’re not ready for a full edit, I offer a high-level review of your manuscript. You’ll receive a written report outlining strengths, weaknesses, and actionable suggestions for improvement. This is a great first step for writers looking for professional feedback before investing in deeper editing. All editing is done using tracked changes in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, depending on your preference. I tailor my work to your genre and goals, and I’m happy to follow your preferred style guide—whether that’s Chicago Manual of Style, APA, or a custom house style. Turnaround times vary depending on manuscript length and service type, but I’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront. If you're not sure which level of editing you need, I offer a free consultation to discuss your goals and recommend the best path forward.

This big-picture edit focuses on your manuscript’s structure, organization, pacing, and content. I’ll help identify gaps, clarify your message, and ensure that your ideas build logically from beginning to end. This is ideal for early drafts or authors seeking guidance on how to strengthen the foundation of their book.

A detailed line-by-line review that enhances your manuscript’s tone, language, style, and flow. I’ll refine dialogue, transitions, and sentence structure for greater clarity and readability, while preserving your unique voice. This is the most stylistic and collaborative form of editing.

This stage ensures technical accuracy. I’ll correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, tense, word usage, and consistency throughout the manuscript. It’s ideal for later drafts that need a sharp editorial eye before final formatting or layout.

The final polish. I’ll carefully review your manuscript for any remaining surface-level issues—typos, formatting errors, missing words, and other minor details—before it goes to print or digital publication.
