Developmental Edit

Perfect for writers in the early stages of the drafting process.

Let's call this the 'big picture edit'. Developmental edits are highly substantive and ideal for authors looking for a second opinion that isn't from a friend or family member (lovely as they are, I'm sure). This edit will focus on developing your story, with key consideration of all the main elements that make a great story. You will receive a detailed editorial letter outlining the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, and a thorough analysis of all the key elements – including structure, plot, pacing, characters, point of view (POV) and much more. I will also make useful notes on your manuscript and provide additional suggestions for improvement or recommendations for your next steps. 

Copyedit

Perfect for writers with a polished final draft who need a second eye on those nitty-gritty grammar errors.

Copyedits sweat the small stuff. Picture me with a spyglass, meticulously making my way through your manuscript to catch all those pesky spelling, grammar and punctuation errors we all make from time to time. I can also create a style sheet (or stick to your existing one if you prefer) to make sure your writing is consistent and clear. Your manuscript will be returned to you squeaky clean with any comments, adjustments, insertions or deletions available in Microsoft Word's Track Changes.

Proofread

Perfect for writers who are ready to publish and need one last check.

If your manuscript is ready for publication or submission but you want one last check over potential lumps and bumps in your spelling, capitalisation, grammar and punctuation errors, correct formatting, accurate references and consistency – then you need a proofread. Your manuscript will be returned to you polished, with any adjustments, insertions or deletions available in Microsoft Word's Track Changes – and most importantly, you'll be ready to go.
