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.
