What I help fiction authors with: 1. Developmental editing for plot structure, pacing, character arcs, and story logic 2. Line editing to improve clarity, tone, voice, and flow 3. Copyediting for grammar, punctuation, consistency, and style 4. Strengthening storytelling without changing the author’s voice Along with in text edits, I provide a detailed editorial feedback report that includes: 1. plot holes and structural issues 2. character consistency and motivation 3. pacing problems and weak transitions 4. unclear scenes and reader confusion points I have experience editing legal thrillers, crime thrillers, young adult fantasy, cozy murder mystery, adult fiction, and queer novels, which allows me to adapt my editing approach to different storytelling styles and audiences. Clients value my clarity, honesty, and attention to detail. I explain why something is not working and how to improve it, rather than simply marking errors.
