Every great story deserves thoughtful editing.
Developmental Editing for Romance, Fantasy, & Women’s Fiction
Editing Services
-
Deciding on an editor is a big step. To ensure I’m the best match for your story, I offer a complimentary developmental sample edit of your opening pages (up to 1,500 words).
-
Ideal for authors seeking comprehensive feedback on the big picture elements of their manuscript before line editing or copyediting. Developmental editing examines the foundation of your story, evaluating what’s working and what’s not to help you prepare for a confident revision.
-
Perfect for authors with a completed draft who want honest reader feedback before querying, self-publishing, or moving into the next stage of revision.
As a beta reader, I evaluate your manuscript through the eyes of your target audience, identifying what's working, where readers may disengage, and whether the emotional journey lands as intended.
