novel & novella editing
Instead of charging for developmental editing and line editing separately, I combine them into one service, for one fee, with optional coaching on the end result, for no extra cost.
My priority is providing great value without compromising on quality.
My approach is a little different…
what’s included?
I’ll look at your spelling, grammar and the basics (line editing)
I’ll consider how the story works as a whole, checking on dialogue, characterisation, pace, voice, structure and plot (developmental editing)
I’ll annotate your work throughout with clear and actionable feedback in the margins.
Then, at the end, I’ll include a full write up of all your strengths, areas I think you can develop and my recommended next steps for your story.
Once the edit is complete, I’ll answer any questions you have about the feedback, and (optionally) coach you through specific revisions too.
If you haven’t finished your manuscript yet or you want to space out the edit, that’s fine.
If you want me to edit more at a later date, I can do that too.
You DON’T have to send it all at once.
