Developmental Editing & Proofreading Services

Developmental Editing Services

Developmental editing is generally the first step of editing to seek out once you have a completed draft of your manuscript. After submitting your manuscript, you will receive a summary highlighting all the story issues I’ve come across. Since this could result in a series of rewrites, it is best this phase comes before any proofreading or fine-tuning. However, every author has their own process.

This manuscript critique addresses various story element issues like plot holes, poor character development, character arcs, pacing, action sequences, point of view, narration, tenses, story flow, dialogue, language use, and any other elements that arise in your manuscript that relate to creative writing.

I charge a flat rate of $25 per 1000 words, for English-written manuscripts.

No editing service shall be commenced before payment in full has been made.

Proofreading Services

Don’t make the fatal mistake many authors make of thinking that computer-generated proofreading software can replace that of humans. All it takes is one mistake in your brand new book, and readers stop reading it.

I am an experienced author, writer, publisher, editor, and proofreader. I have written works in many genres: Non-fiction – travel, memoir, biography, interviews, historical, war & military, humour, crime, and many more. Fiction – drama, fantasy (including sub-genres), supernatural, thriller, romance (not erotica), adventure. I have also done work where I have mixed fact with fiction to produce stories for people – a blended kind of memoir.

I have a degree in Creative Writing and Advanced Applied Writing, and as such, I have the knowledge and skill to write, edit & proofread in various genres – nonfiction, memoir, journalism, short and long fiction, screenwriting, poetry, editing, and many more. I have also taken writing courses with Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, and R.L. Stine.
