I provide Developmental Editing and Professional Beta Reading.
As a developmental editor I can provide fresh eyes and a reader perspective to uncover issues that might jar readers out of your story. I have completed the Professional Editing Standards Certificate from Queen’s University and can help your story shine by:
- Identifying plot holes and providing ideas for transition scenes to fill them.
- Pinpointing timeline inconsistencies and suggesting ways to correct them.
- Improving pacing by recommending adjustments to sentence and paragraph length.
- Pruning wordiness to improve clarity.
- Enhancing description and world building, if needed.
- Creating a style sheet to ensure spelling consistency—especially of character and place names.
The professional Beta Reader service is primarily designed for first-time authors with limited budgets. Feedback from family and friends can only go so far—and often isn’t as honest and complete as you need. I bring my editor’s eye to a read-through of your manuscript and provide a report highlighting areas that need work and detailing what is already working.
