Book Editing Services
I work with fiction and nonfiction writers who have something real on the page. Usually, it's complex or personal or ambitious enough that you can feel the weight of it. My approach focuses on structure, clarity, and intention: identifying what's working, what's getting in the way, and how to strengthen the book while keeping the voice that made you write it in the first place.
Whether you're shaping a first draft or preparing a manuscript for submission or publication, I offer honest feedback that helps you revise with direction instead of second-guessing yourself.
Fiction Writers
Manuscript Evaluation
You get a focused read of your manuscript with an eye toward the big structural moves. Plot, pacing, character arcs, the emotional shape of the story. I'll point out what's landing and what's pulling the reader out.
Developmental Editing
Scene-by-scene feedback on structure, pacing, character development, and the moments that should hit hard. I work inside your manuscript and in a separate letter, building on what you're already doing well while showing you where the story needs to shift.
Non-Fiction Writers
Manuscript Evaluation
A clear-eyed read of your manuscript focused on clarity, organization, and whether your argument lands with the reader you're trying to reach. I'll flag what's working and where the logic or flow needs tightening.
Developmental Editing
I work through your manuscript section by section, helping you clarify your argument, strengthen the connections between ideas, and make sure your voice comes through. You get inline feedback plus a separate letter breaking down the structural work ahead.
