Where Your Personal Stories Come Alive!
Services
You've worked long days and sleepless nights, and now you have a first draft that needs editing. However, the thought of a third party combing through your book unnerves you. You're wondering,
"Will they change my story?"
"Will they try to make my story their own?"
"What about my voice, will it still be mine?"
These are all understandable concerns authors have when hiring an editor. I'm hoping that after you read through the services I offer, you'll be one step closer to feeling comfortable taking your manuscript from draft to published masterpiece.
My services are designed to help you breathe a little easier. I will walk you through all the stages of the editing process - what to expect, the type of editing best suited for your book, what to look for in an editor, and how to prepare yourself for the emotional and physical toll of professional editing.

Developmental Editing
Developmental editing focuses on the overall content of an author's work. It checks for the following: story structure, organization, pacing, tone, and argument.
Line Editing
Line editing focuses on an author's content, writing style, and use of language. It checks for sentence structure, word usage, flow, logic, and clarity.
Copyediting
Copy editing focuses on content, writing style, and an author's use of language, in addition to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting issues. ​
Interior Book Formatting
Interior page formatting is designed to give you a book that is visually appealing on the inside. Using our industry recommended software, we'll format your pages and margins to industry publishing standards.
Writing
Our writing services are designed to help you develop your ideas with clarity, coherence, and creativity. We provide story development, manuscript assessments, and book synopsis and blurb writing assistance.
Book Development
Helps authors develop the content of their books by listening to ideas and then guiding authors on how to script those ideas into words that flow from page to page.
Manuscript Assessments
Involves reading through an author's manuscript and suggesting changes and ways to improve the overall structure and flow of the content while clarifying its message.
Book Synopsis and Blurbs
Offers help with writing book synopsis, book blurbs, and agent query letters for self-published authors and those seeking a traditional or small press publisher for their book.
The average developmental editing job takes 4-5 weeks. It takes about 3-4 weeks for a line editing job and 1-2 weeks for copyediting. My goal as your editor is to help you produce your most polished work, one we can both be proud of. To do this, I need time, and for that reason, I do not offer rush services.
