Editing & Manuscript Coaching
Working with authors, I hope to further illuminate the most compelling paths created by a work. Offering structural and developmental feedback as well as line edits, I collaborate with the author to create a manuscript that most closely matches their vision.
All genres are welcome, with a focus on poetry, YA, upmarket and literary fiction. During an initial consultation, we’ll discuss the scope of the project, establishing shared goals and a clear timeline.
Holistic Editing
Holistic, or developmental, editing addresses overarching questions of plot, character, organization, and tone, considering the bigger picture of the work.
Line Editing
Line editing will help an author fine-tune their diction, address redundancies, clarify ambiguity, and ensure tonal consistency. The fine-toothed comb of editing.
Proofreading
Proofreading will address the mechanics of the manuscript, considering spelling, grammar, and punctuation; stylistic consistency; and tense uniformity.
