Editing

I don't make MANY changes. I make MAJOR, necessary changes.
​I'm a strong editor with good instinct, flexibility and surgically-focused attention to detail.
Copy Editor. I meticulously adhere to style guidelines, check copy for readability with editorial policy, then do it all again! 

Development Editor. My edits help writers stand out! I check, double-check and delete if I have to so that it's your voice, not mine, that will be heard. Clearly. That means I'm "listening" for context, content, fluency, libel, 5 W's, math, style, holes, sensitivity to race, gender, class and other isms and poor taste.

Line Editor. Micro-editing is happening. I'm checking for style, creative content, language (formal, informal, colloquial, slang), diction, tone, clarity consistency and redundancy.

Script Editor. Show, don't tell. This is what I look to see in your movie, stage or short script. In my review of your script, I check for font, formatting, plot development, engagement, interpretation, pacing, messaging, dialog and communication appeal, character development, accuracy, purpose and the revising, refining, rearranging and cutting of scenes. 


Proofreader. I check for all the things you hated in English class: M.U.G.S. (mechanics, usage, grammar, spelling, syntax), punctuation, typos and numbers. I advocate for both the writer and the source.

Book Reviewer. Contact me for an honest, tactful review of your printed book or e-book within 3-5 weeks. Upon approval, I also post your review with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Alibris and/or other relevant sites.

Character Consultant. I study, evaluate, interpret then offer my perspective on the characters that shape your stories.

Manuscript Evaluator. Get honest feedback so that you can write a best-selling story! This includes identifying your why, who cares and why should I care answers to writing your book.
