Manuscript development and editing
Editorial services to meet your needs ...
Wherever you are in the development of your project, I can help.
If it's just an idea, we can discuss it to see if it has the strength to translate into a narrative.
If you've done a first draft - complete or incomplete, or maybe just a few pages - I can offer a developmental edit, looking at basic elements like tone, voice, content, structure, intended audience, and 'the big picture' of your story.
In this context, I can also review your content and suggest rewrites (or do these for you to meet publishing expectations).
If you've done successive drafts or a final draft, I can provide editorial advice on a 'line by line' content basis, looking at the storytelling elements of character, setting, plot, point of view, conflict, and more.
I also look at accuracy of language, spelling and grammar, word usage, and check any references you have included in your work.
That final polish .. so important before submitting to a publisher, or being able to say 'I've finished!'. Here we action an intensive line by line, final proof read.
If you're needing editorial services and would like to discuss your project with me, please complete the contact form and I'll be in touch.
