Fiction editing services for authors

And so your journey begins...

You’ve written your novel and now it’s ready for editing. A manuscript critique will look at the structure and bigger issues of the story, but if you're happy with that then it's ready for the next step: line and copy editing. These are sentence-level edits and will eliminate anything that might distract your readers. But don't worry, no matter what changes I suggest, the decision to accept them is always yours. 

Let’s turn your story into a great book that readers won't want to put down.

Manuscript critique

A manuscript critique looks at the big-picture elements of your novel.

Copy editing

Still working at sentence level, a copy edit conentrates on the technical aspects of your writing.

Line editing

This is more of a stylistic edit, working at sentence level to address style, sense and flow

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final polish to make sure your novel is ready for publishing.

Deborah delivered on all fronts and then some!

It was great to work with Deborah who was prompt to reply to messages, quick to get started with the work and efficient and professional in what she delivered. I was looking for a copy edit that chopped dead weight, tightened up my prose and sanity-checked my plot along the way. Deborah delivered on all fronts and then some!
