About this service
Summary
FAQs
Is this a proofreading or copyediting service?
I won't comment on your spelling, grammar, punctuation, or writing style. This service focuses on content only. This is not a proofreading or copyediting service.
Is this a manuscript evaluation or developmental edit?
I won't give you feedback on your plot, characterisation, dialogue, or any aspect of story structure. This service focuses on the consistency of "hard" details, such as colours and locations. It also focuses on "soft" detail questions. e.g. If a character suddenly has a bomb in chapter 17, should this have been mentioned earlier?
What is the price for stories that aren't 50,000 words?
Please contact me for a custom quote.
What's included
A list of "hard" continuity issues
You'll receive a list of continuity problems in the order that they appear. Number the pages of your manuscript before sending it to me. I'll organise the list by page number. This list will focus on concrete issues such as cars changing colour, people suddenly growing taller, and cities moving location.
A report about "soft" continuity issues
You'll receive a subjective report about "soft" continuity issues, such as unexpected surprises that break the world-building or characters suddenly changing their major personality traits.
What this service isn't
This isn't an editing service. It focuses on content continuity and unexpected surprises. You won't receive feedback on your grammar, spelling, writing style, or handling of fiction craft.
