EDITORIAL SERVICES
Developmental Editing: A deep-dive, big-picture edit designed to strengthen your novel’s foundation. I’ll provide an edit letter (up to 10 pages) and in-line notes covering key elements like plot, character development, pacing, and structure. My specialties are young adult contemporary and romance, but I’m open to working on any story I believe in. Contact me to discuss your project!
Beta Reading: Get fresh eyes on your manuscript before querying or self-publishing! As a beta reader, I’ll provide honest, reader-focused feedback on what’s working, what’s not, and how your story resonates. My notes will cover pacing, character development, plot clarity, and overall reader experience—helping you refine your book before it reaches agents or readers. This will include a questionnaire and some in-line notes. This is more broad strokes than a developmental edit.
Query Letter Critiques: As a published author, I’ve helped many writers refine their query letters to catch an agent’s attention. I’ll sharpen your query to ensure it effectively showcases your novel and maximizes your chances of standing out.
