​Editing

Writing a book is a huge accomplishment, but when you’re done writing—that’s when the real work begins: Editing. 

Editorial Letter:

Take your draft to the next level   -4 to 6 week turnaround-

We’ll read your full manuscript and provide a detailed editorial letter with organized feedback on your book’s key elements such as: voice, plot, characters, dialogue, setting, structure, pace, tension, and genre, as well as suggestions on how to tackle your revision process. 

We’ll help you discover your flow by focusing on the strengths of each area and provide examples and solutions for any areas that feel underdeveloped. An editorial letter will not only help take your manuscript to the next level, but it will also help you grow as a writer. You’ll have the tools, the confidence, and the inspiration to make your manuscript sparkle. 

​Typical editorial letter length is 5–7 pages.

Please note that this package does not include line edits.

Developmental Edit:

Get your book ready for agents and publishers      -6 to 8 week turnaround-

This enthusiastic line edit includes comments in the margins of your document pointing out strengths, weaknesses, questions for clarity, reader reactions, and suggestions to push you and your draft further. A strong focus will be on providing solutions to “showing vs. telling,” character development, use of dialogue, awkward sentences, sensory descriptions, narrative voice, pacing problems, structure, plot holes, and how to best bring the story forward so that your audience won’t be able to put your book down.
2-week turnaround

Whether you’re submitting to agents, publishers, or preparing for readers, we’ll help strengthen your first 5 pages. This critique focuses on character, setting, showing vs. telling, and making sure your opening has a strong hook and polished pages.
