i want a tidy novel
Congratulations on arriving to the editing stages!
First, let me say you're awesome! (Truly.) Second, I recognize and deeply respect that you've put A LOT of yourself into your novel. I sincerely hope you've taken the time to be proud of all you've accomplished.
I'm aware that looking for an editor can be tough, so I'm going to try to keep it easy. I'm here to work with you how you work best.
Because you're here, I'm pretty sure you know I'm here to help you with anything from plot holes, character development, and worldbuilding, to things like spelling, grammar, and other elements of the story but overall my goal is to help:
- get the story prepared for readers,
- uphold your unique style and voice, and
- ensure readers stay captivated.
These are HUGE things, and they need to be tailored.
Fiction editing is an area with lots of gray; each story is different, as is each author.
Editing fiction is not black and white—it's much like writing it; it’s an art.
Finding the right editor is about building a relationship with someone you're comfortable collaborating with.
It's choosing a partner; you need to find out if they "get" you. So, what do you say about spending a little time together?
I strongly believe any good relationship must be flexible.
So . . .
How about we start with:
- a FREE 1,000-word sample edit from me, and
- a relaxed chat to introduce ourselves and talk about your book.
After that, if we feel we'd be a good team, we'll move on to what's next—and I'll genuinely be honored to be your investment in preparing your book for its debut.
Already know what kind of editing you need? Awesome!
If you're not entirely sure, I've included a brief description of each type of editing I offer in the Services section.
