SHORT FICTION
Short story, flash fiction or microfiction,
whatever you’ve got, I’d love to take a look at it for you.
Instead of charging seperately for developmental editing and line editing, I combine them into one service, for one fee.
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 might have about my feedback.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
First, complete the form at the bottom of this page
Then, I’ll email you a no-obligation
quote and delivery estimate
You can make payment using a secure payment method of your choice
and email me your writing (most common formats accepted)
Once I’ve got that, I’ll complete the full edit and return it to you by email
Finally, I’ll answer any questions you might have about my feedback
