Editorial and Writing Services

Don't let your work sound robotic and generic. Work with a real person to achieve a professional and original final product! I provide editorial and writing services at competitive rates, and bring over 20 years’ experience to the table, drafting everything from creative fiction to complex legal documents. I have worked for publications, professional regulators and government bodies in various editorial roles.

My services include:

• Developmental Editing - A review of your manuscript to assess the "big-picture". A structural edit with a focus on story arc, pacing, plot/argument flow, character development, style, clarity of ideas. (A more generic editorial assessment is also available for a lower rate, to give author a sense of the book's strengths and areas that need improvement.)

• Line editing - Focus on sentence flow, rhythm, voice, word choice, readability, consistency of tone.

• Copy Editing - Focus on grammar, punctuation, spelling, clarity, fact-checking, consistency (style guide aligned).
