Author
Welcome, Fellow Author!
Writing a full-length novel is a labor of love, requiring dedication, patience, passion, and perseverance. You’ve poured your heart and soul into your work, spent countless hours writing, revising, and gathering feedback from beta readers, friends, and family.
Now, you’re ready to take the next step—either indie-publishing or querying literary agents. But wait! Before you do, consider having your manuscript professionally edited to make it the best it can be.
It’s true that an agent or publishing house may provide edits; however, your manuscript needs to captivate them first. And if you’re going the indie route, it’s crucial to have additional eyes on your project before sending it out into the world.
As authors, we want to be proud of our creations and share our best work with readers. That’s where an editor comes in. My intent as an editor is to:
-
Illuminate your words
-
Spotlight your creativity
-
Preserve your voice.
Editorial Services
If you’re seeking an editor who’ll treat your manuscript with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail, while also bringing a fresh perspective, adaptability, and a genuine passion for the craft, look no further. Let’s embark on this journey together and elevate your work to new heights.
Manuscript Review
The manuscript review is a great way to get an assessment of your draft, including strengths, areas for revision, and recommendations for the next steps in the editing process. This is perfect if you’re unsure about the direction of your manuscript and want expert guidance without a huge investment.
Line and Copyediting
In a copyedit (sometimes called line editing), you can expect that I’ll refine your paragraphs and sentences to ensure consistency, flow, and clarity while preserving your unique voice. This phase assumes the structure and plot are developed, allowing me to focus on polishing your prose, word choice, punctuation, and style.
Proofreading
A proofread is the finishing touch before querying or indie-publishing. In this phase, I’ll meticulously review your manuscript for punctuation, capitalization, spelling, grammar, style, and formatting consistency.
