Is your story hitting all the right notes?
One of the great dangers of not hiring a developmental editor is having a plot or characters fall flat!
As a developmental editor, I focus on essential elements that make stories craveable: Conflict, Context, and Change.
Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, these pillars drive reader engagement and ensure the plot / message of a story is received.
Conflict: I'll review your plot, ensuring compelling obstacles and drama propel your story forward.
Context: I'll ensure you strike the perfect balance of information - clear, immersive, and never overwhelming.
Change: I'll look for powerful character and plot arcs that resonate deeply with readers, leaving a lasting impact.
My line comments and chapter-by-chapter feedback pinpoints exactly where these elements excel or need strengthening, providing actionable insights every step of the way.
I've served hundreds of writers as a full-time writing coach and editor, and you can trust that my focus and goal is to ultimately help you elevate your writing.
Ready to make your book unforgettable? Invest in your story and your success!
I look forward to serving you.
