Editing

Your voice matters. And I’m here to help it sing.

Developmental, content, & line editing

Not sure if your manuscript is ready to be published? Need feedback regarding plot, pacing, character development, structure, dialogue, repetition, readability, or setting?

I’m happy to help! In addition, I check for inconsistencies, blatant factual errors, contradictions, theme clarity and development, and voice/tone effectiveness.

Finally, I look at your manuscript line by line and analyze word choice, meaning, wordiness, redundancies, clunky sentences, clichés, showing vs. telling, emotional impact, transition, and unnatural phrasing.

Excellent Seller! I am very happy with the results of the developmental edit, some great comments were made for improvement! It was great to have an extra set of eyes on my project.

She was great! I loved her suggestions and will use her again for my content editing. She is priced fairly and delivers on time.

Needed a nonfiction developmental edit and Christy was prompt and her comments were appropriate and helpful. Recommend using her services.

alvinares

I’m a first-time author and wanted another person’s reaction/input on my book. Christy was responsive, flexible and oh so gracious when I called audibles during the gig. Her input will make my book much better. I’d definitely work with Christy again!

Very responsive before we started and after she finished. I appreciate all her hard work to make my manuscript shine!

I was always worried about this part, hiring an editor. I checked the area around for a developmental editor and she was the best out there! She made me worry less about the process and showed me how editors are friendly, unlike what I thought in the beginning. She also pointed out the good parts you had, not only the bad ones you need to fix. She had 72,610 words developmentally edited perfectly, with a short amount of time less than a week. Highly recommend this seller and would definitely hire her again.
