BigEditor: Tech-Enhanced Developmental Audits
BigEditor was born out of necessity. As an author of a 160,000-word manuscript and a 190,000-word epic, I faced a hard reality: a single developmental pass often costs between $1,500 and $5,000. I needed unlimited access to competent editorial advice without that gatekept price tag.
I built this tool to handle the "heavy lifting" of editing—readability, clichés, and a deep-logic continuity pass. By using semantic embeddings, the engine understands the actual meaning behind character attributes, timeline markers, and world rules.
The Process:
Typically, I—or if you would like to join in, we—work through your entire manuscript together line-by-line, addressing each annotation BigEditor provides. This can be with AI-enriched suggestions or without; the choices and the creativity are always yours.
The Value:
No, the value is not that of full editor, it is only part of what an editor can do for you, so i offer it at only part the price. It is about providing a professional-grade structural audit at a price that is actually reasonable for indie authors.

I’m on a mission to make professional-grade developmental editing accessible to every indie author.
I’m currently offering $50 'Precision Pass' audits for manuscripts of any length—including 200k+ word epics. As a Korean American writer and MSW student, I use a custom NLP engine (BigEditor) as a high-powered microscope to catch logic gaps, but the heart of the work is human-led. I personally review every flag and invite every author to a live Zoom session so we can edit the work together.
I'm looking to build my portfolio with 3 more verified projects this month!
