I offer several levels of editing, depending on the needs of your manuscript.
Developmental editing focuses on the overall structure, narrative flow, and clarity of ideas. It addresses big-picture elements such as pacing, organization, and content development.
Copyediting corrects grammar, syntax, style, and internal consistency, ensuring your writing is clean, accurate, and aligned with editorial standards.
