Developmental Edit

Focus Areas:
Character Arcs & POV
Plot Structure & Pacing
World-Building & Immersion
Theme, Cohesion & Payoff
Scene Dynamics, Dialogue & Chemistry

Comprehensive Editorial Letter (10–20+ pages): A deep dive analysis of your story’s strengths and weaknesses with actionable steps for revision.
In-Manuscript Comments: Direct, page-by-page notes throughout your document showing my reactions and suggestions in real time.
Custom Book Map: A structural spreadsheet breaking down your manuscript scene by scene to help you stay organized during revisions.

Please Note:
Developmental editing focuses on story level feedback and does not include line editing, copyediting, proofreading, or grammar correction.
I currently specialize in romance, romantasy, fantasy, and emotionally driven women's fiction. While I enjoy many genres as a reader, I am not currently accepting projects centered on extreme horror or any themes involving sexual assault or non-consensual content.
Beta Reading
Perfect for authors with a completed draft who want honest reader feedback before querying, self-publishing, or investing in a developmental edit.
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.
