Developmental Editing, Line Editing, & Proofreading

Developmental editing focuses on plot structure and character development. I give you tips for how to revise your manuscript to get the story publication- or submission-ready. The ideas are share are for improving the overall structure of the story. Also called content editing.

Line editing focuses on language use. I look for ways you can make your wording more concise, your language more vivid, and better follow everyone's favorite rule: Show, don't tell!

Proofreading is a final check of the grammar, punctuation, and word choice. I only offer proofreading when I am familiar with the manuscript.
