My Approach
I will not make changes to your manuscript with any editing service.
For proofreading, I will document areas that need to be fixed with highlights and/or comments in the margins of the manuscript.
For manuscript evaluations, you will receive a detailed report outlining the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript.
For developmental editing, I use color-coordinated highlights, comments in the margins of the manuscript, and a separate document to provide more detail on areas of concern.
Aftercare is always included. That means from the time I start your manuscript until you publish it, I am available. If you have questions on my edits, need to talk through scenes, or have other ideas for your manuscript. I am here to see things through until the end.
