What you get
The Process
I examine each line in your novel and provide you with a Tracked Changes copy of your manuscript and explain how the suggested changes improve your readers' enjoyment.
In-document Changes
The Tracked Changes copy of your manuscript details each suggested edit.
The number of in-document changes will be high, so prepare yourself for a lot of suggestions.
Editorial Letter
You receive an editorial letter about what works well and what improvements could be made to tighten and clarify your story and message.
The editorial letter will be at least ten pages of feedback, suggestions for stylistic revising, and what to watch for when you edit for grammar and punctuation.
Post-Edit Call
After you review my comments, the letter, and style sheet, we have a chat about your thoughts on them and discuss a revison plan.
