Developmental Editing:

This is where your work gets an in-depth read so that I can best understand your writing. From there I will suggest edits for tone, structure, word choice or consistency. I will also note any plot holes or unnecessary details, commenting on your characters, theme and organization of scenes. Developmental editing is the process of me helping you turn your rough and first draft into a polished, amazing second draft.What you'll receive:
-A full evaluation of your work with thorough edits. These will cover your theme, plot, structure, flow, errors, character arcs, missing pieces and other important details that will help turn your unpolished work into an excellent second draft.
-A note or detailed message about improvements to be made and areas in which you are struggling with (so that you are aware of these and can be conscious of it going forward).
-Advice on how to go forward with your work in order to reach your desired end goal.

Line Editing:

This is where I will provide the highest, most detailed level of editing. I will act as both a reader and editor as I work on your manuscript. Paying close attention to your voice as a writer, I will go through your work and make any and all suggestions I can to make your work the best piece of writing it can be. This is more than developmental editing because I will also be focusing on how your book read and how your written voice is for a potential audience, checking the pace of the book and how it flows as a whole.What you'll receive:
-A full evaluation of edits I have made throughout your work. This will cover flow, writing style, voice, pacing, character developmental, plot and any other suggestions I make to further improve the book before you put it out into the world.
-An extremely detailed message covering everything I have suggested as edits, as well as how I think it would be for a reader experiencing it. This will include whether your pace is off, if the structure isn't right, whether your word count is too high/low, if scenes need to be added or cut, and anything else I believe would be beneficial for you to know to help your work be as perfect as it can be.

Zoom Consultation:

This is an opportunity for you to have someone to brainstorm with or discuss your current work in progress. It isn't easy to write on your own without being able to discuss it, which is where I come in. You can select to have a video or voice-only zoom call with me and I will help you flesh out whatever idea you need help with or would like feedback on. Whether it is plot, characters, questions about the editing process, a completely new WIP idea or anything writing related; I will be happy to discuss it with you and offer any advice/support I can.What you'll receive:
-A 1hr zoom call (choose from video or voice-only) to discuss any writing questions you may have.
-An email detailing what was discussed/advice given during the meeting.
