A deeper exploration of your novel to ensure the overall story arc is cohesive, the characterization is compelling, and the narrative matches your conceptual vision for the book. It involves an in-depth appraisal of general elements including plot, world-building, characterization, setting/atmosphere, stakes, and pacing. This service includes an editorial letter that outlines key strengths and general areas for improvement, as well as notes in the margins of the manuscript addressing specific elements and scenes using the Comments function. After completion of the edit, I offer an optional one-hour phone or video call to address any questions.

​

For picture books or graphic novels, I am also able to review illustrations.

I offer both copyediting and proofreading services (as well as a package that contains both services) for a variety of manuscripts across genres. 

Upon reviewing your query letter, I can advise on steps you might need to take before sending it out to agents. Our goal is to have you make an outstanding first impression as you embark upon your publication journey!
