I will read your manuscript and offer my thoughts and advice in a personalised critique letter, covering all aspects of storytelling, such as: style, plot, characterization, world building, theme, tone etc. I will analyse the strengths of your story, as well as highlighting points for improvement. This can be used to guide future revisions and redrafts. No level of editing in the manuscript will be applied at this stage, but I will give advice on which stage of editing I recommend for you may need next.

I will read your manuscript in full and offer a detailed analysis of all story elements, providing a comprehensive editorial letter alongside detailed in-line comments and tracked edits in the manuscript. After changes have been made, I will schedule a second read and my thoughts will be provided on the revisions. This service is best for authors who have finished drafting and are looking for comprehensive feedback and editorial comments.

This is a combined service of both copy and line editing. I will read and edit your manuscript in full, leaving comments in-line using tracked changes. I will be paying close attention to consistency with writing elements such as tone and voice, as well as focusing on spelling, punctuation and grammar. I will be looking for awkward phrasing, sentence structure, and tense switching. I will also create a personalised style sheet for your project. This service is less about the story overall, and more about clarity and consistency at a line level.

This is the final step in preparing your manuscript for publication. I will read through your story with scrutiny, searching for any mistakes with spelling, punctuation and grammar that have been missed in previous edits. I will also check the headers and footers of your pages, as well as ensuring page numbers are correct. Please note that only the above things will be addressed at this stage, if further edits are required, this will be noted.
