EDITING SERVICES

While I am currently only accepting fantasy genres and subgenres, I am happy to discuss manuscripts in other fiction genres. Alternatively, I can recommend other editors who may be a better fit for your manuscript.

For editing enquiries, or if you have any questions regarding my editing services, please fill out the contact form on the contact page.

  • The sample edit is offered before you book an editing service and is a free sample edit of the first 2000 words of your manuscript. This helps you determine whether my editing style is the best fit for you and your story before you book an editing service.

    What’s included:

    In-line comments are always included with a sample edit, but depending on whether the sample is for a developmental or copy & line edit, an editorial letter may also be included.

    • Editorial letter, focusing on:

      • Pacing, tension, suspense

      • Characters, their development, POVs, and relevancy within the story

      • Genre and word count

      • Plot and story structure, including plot holes and inconsistencies

      • World-building, magic systems, etc.

      • Subplots, including their believability and relevancy

      • Anything else related to the story

    • In-line comments pointing out specific moments that are either great or may need improvement

    COST (AUD): Free
