Kehinde A.

I help authors improve their manuscripts through developmental editing, beta reading, manuscript critique, copy editing, and proofreading. I focus on pacing, plot, character development, POV, structure, clarity, grammar, and reader engagement. A manuscript can have a great story and still have areas that slow the reader down. My job is to help you find those areas and understand what can be strengthened while preserving your voice and writing style. My services include: • Developmental Editing — plot, structure, pacing, character arcs, scenes, POV, and story development • Beta Reading — reader reaction, pacing, character connection, emotional impact, plot, and engagement • Manuscript Critique — strengths, weaknesses, major story issues, and practical revision feedback • Line Editing — sentence flow, dialogue, clarity, tone, and readability • Copy Editing — grammar, consistency, word choice, punctuation, and style • Proofreading — spelling, punctuation, typos, formatting, and final errors I work with fiction and nonfiction, including romance, fantasy, thriller, mystery, horror, literary fiction, dystopian fiction, speculative fiction, memoir, and self-help. I provide feedback that is specific to your manuscript rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. For beta reading and manuscript critique, I can provide a separate feedback report covering the areas that matter most to the reading experience. If you're preparing your first book, revising a completed manuscript, submitting to agents, or getting ready to self-publish, send me your manuscript details and word count. I'd be happy to discuss what type of editing or feedback would best fit your project.
