I offer developmental editing and line editing services to help you polish your draft novel, memoirs or script to make it the best it can be.
Developmental editing
Are you getting the most drama out of your story? How are you maintaining reader engagement? I create a report using over 50 further questions like these to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, and suggest ways to improve your plot, characters, dialogue, setting, and pacing.
Line editing
I will correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, and improve word choice and sentence structure. In addition, I will make sure your writing is consistent in terms of style and tone and use of point of view. (NB This is not the same as proof reading which should be the final stage of preparation prior to publishing.)
Either of these two services can be provided individually or both together.
I've learnt so much in a short period of time and I find myself constantly absorbing theory and good writing practice, but through coaching, feedback and support on live assignments, not dry tuition.
