Proofreading

I read your manuscript and correct any typographical, grammatical, or punctuation errors.

Copy editing

I proofread your manuscript + review your grammar and writing style, and edit based on specific style guides (for example, Chicago, MLA, AP, APA, AMA, or NYT).

Line editing

I proofread and copy-edit your manuscript + do sensitivity reading, evaluate other elements such as your tone and voice, and improve the flow and pacing of your sentences and story.

I will also check your use of language (and trim any overused words and phrases), clarify and fact-check any vague parts, and alert you of any possible problems that can come up.

Developmental editing

I proofread, copy-edit, and line-edit your manuscript + help you build and improve your story: from plot and characters to pacing and contexts (social, cultural, historical).

This editing service is recommended if you’re still in the early stages of writing.

Story consultancy

I provide feedback on your manuscript plans and synopses, give advice on reading and research material, and provide publishing market and industry insights.

This service is recommended for authors and writers who have not started on their manuscripts yet.
