Developmental Edit
Ideal if you’re seeking comprehensive feedback on the big-picture elements of your 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.
Focus Areas:
Character Arcs & POV
Plot Structure & Pacing
World-Building & Immersion
Theme, Cohesion & Payoff
Scene Dynamics, Dialogue & Chemistry
What you'll receive:
Comprehensive Editorial Letter (10+ pages): A deep dive analysis of your story’s strengths and weaknesses with actionable advice 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.
60-Minute Post-Edit Strategy Call: A collaborative session driven by you to brainstorm fixes, ask questions, and/or map out your next steps.
Timeline: 4-6 weeks
Introductory Availability: I'm currently accepting two developmental edits at an introductory rate of $0.025 per word for specific genres.
Not sure we're the right fit? I offer a free sample edit of up to1,500 words so you can experience my feedback before booking.
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 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.
I don't accept AI written books, and I will never share your manuscript with AI systems.
Beta Read
Ideal if you have a completed draft and want honest reader feedback before querying, self-publishing, or moving into the next stage of revision.
As a beta reader, I read your manuscript the way your target audience would. I evaluate your opening, character arcs, pacing, and emotional payoff, and of course look at where readers may disengage.

In-manuscript comments
Focus Areas
Reader engagement
Character connection
Romantic tension and chemistry (if applicable)
