How I Can Help

My fiction editing services are designed to enhance your story’s clarity, emotional impact, and flow, while preserving the unique voice that makes your work yours.

Structural & Developmental Editing

I provide detailed feedback on plot, pacing, character development, and overall narrative structure. This can include:

  • Identifying plot holes or pacing issues

  • Strengthening character arcs and motivations

  • Clarifying themes and narrative voice

  • Recommending reorganization or tightening scenes for impact

Stylistic & Line Editing

Here, the focus is on sentence-level craft:

  • Ensuring consistent tone and voice

  • Fixing awkward or unclear phrasing

Copyediting & Proofreading

For the final polish, I check for:

  • Grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors

  • Consistency in formatting, names, and details

  • Correct usage of US English or Canadian English as needed
