Services

A comprehensive edit that strengthens structure and sharpens language.

This service focuses on:

• Narrative structure and pacing

• Character motivation and arc

• Thematic cohesion

• World-building consistency (for speculative fiction)

• Sentence-level clarity and flow

You’ll receive:

• A detailed editorial letter: multi-page assessment that explains what is working and where revisions will have the greatest impact.

• Story arc and structural mapping: analysis of the overall arc of the manuscript, where tension rises and falls, and where the story may lose momentum. This will tell you whether the structure is supporting the story you are trying to tell.

• Chapter-by-chapter developmental notes: Targeted feedback for each chapter and each act on what is working and what could be strengthened. This includes pacing, character development, clarity of stakes, and how each chapter contributes to the overall arc of the story.

• Hot spot analysis: Specific sections of the manuscript where readers may lose clarity, emotional engagement, or narrative momentum. These often represent the places where focused revision can create the biggest improvement.

• In-line manuscript comments: Thoughtful comments in the manuscript highlighting opportunities to clarify language, sharpen scenes, strengthen character motivation, and improve flow.

• Clear, actionable revision guidance: Rather than overwhelming you with scattered feedback, I highlight specific changes that will have the greatest impact so you know where to focus your efforts.

• One follow-up call or written Q&A

Best for: Writers preparing for serious revision, querying, or submission.
