Polish your prose to perfection
Copy editing focuses on the technical precision of your manuscript. I work line by line to ensure your writing is clean, clear, and consistent, correcting grammar, punctuation, and syntax while maintaining your unique voice. I also refine style and flow by restructuring weak sentences or paragraphs, checking facts, and fixing tense shifts, word choice issues, dialogue tags, and other easy-to-miss errors. Along the way, I flag awkward phrasing, overused passive voice, "telling" instead of "showing," repetitive wording, and any timeline or character inconsistencies.
Manuscripts that are structurally sound but need meticulous line-level refinement. Perfect for authors ready for the final polish before publication or submission.
Strengthen your story from within
Developmental editing examines the foundation of your narrative. I analyze plot structure, character development, pacing, and worldbuilding to help you craft a compelling, cohesive story that resonates with readers. This is an in-depth, two-pass process: the first pass focuses on big-picture story issues with light line edits, while the second pass provides a thorough line and copyedit alongside a review of your revisions. Within the manuscript, I leave reactions and suggestions as I go, offering feedback on character and plot arcs, scene effectiveness, plausibility, plot holes, and any timeline or character inconsistencies. My focus includes story strengths and weaknesses, pacing and continuity, balance of narration vs. dialogue, "show vs. tell," internal thoughts and actions, and whether they remain true to each character. I also address style and clarity at the sentence level, smoothing awkward phrasing, reducing unnecessary passive voice, refining word choice and repetition, and automatically correcting punctuation, spelling, tense shifts, comma and semicolon usage, dialogue tags, and other easily missed errors.
