Developmental Editing

What it is:

The big-picture edit that happens before you worry about commas. I'll look at your structure, pacing, character arcs, and romantic tension—the stuff that makes readers either DNF at 20% or stay up past midnight to finish.

You'll get an editorial letter breaking down what’s working, what could use some polish, plus margin notes throughout your manuscript. No vague feedback. No harsh comments. No "great job!" without explanation. Just clear, actionable guidance you can actually use.

Line/Copyediting

What it is:

Think of line and copyediting as your manuscript’s personal stylist. With line edits, we're smoothing, shaping, and styling your writing into its most polished form, all while keeping your unique flair intact.

Then, we're on to copyediting to focus on continuity and style rules. As a standard, I use the Chicago Manual of Style rules (also known as "Chicago" or "CMOS").
