I provide editing and writing services including manuscript critiques, developmental editing, and substantive editing.

I understand the elements that build a great story. I will help you to improve your plot, characterization, and mechanics to hook readers from the first page and keep them hooked. My edits resolve weaknesses on the book, chapter, and sentence level to ensure your writing is clear, consistent, and compelling while retaining your own unique style and voice.

My focus is not proofreading or only correcting grammar. I help authors to strengthen and refine their writing by addressing complex issues such as:

Characterization
Plot, Conflict, and Suspense
Pacing
Showing versus Telling
Point of View
Eliminating repetition
Setting
Dialogue
Structure
World Building
Style and Flow

My edits include explanations for different types of recommended revisions, making it easier for authors to improve their future writing.

I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association.
