Hi! Hey! Hello!

Full Editing Journey

Full Editing

(manuscript assessment + line edit)
The Full Editing Journey is a quest of epic proportions through your story’s craft, writing style, and grammar/usage/mechanics, one I walk every step of the way with you. It combines the benefits of a Story Diagnostic (manuscript assessment), Style Tune-Up (line edit + copyedit) into one comprehensive, affordable service.

Style Tune-Up

Style Tune-Up

(line edit + copyedit)
A Style Tune-Up makes your words stand up and sing! It starts with a deep language revision (line edit) of your entire manuscript, editing line by line to fix anything that might take a critical reader out of your story. It ends with a final battle to smooth your manuscript’s grammar, spelling, and other mechanics (copyedit).

Story Diagnostic

Story Diagnostic

(manuscript assessment)
Wondering if your first draft, half draft, final draft, or anything in between is on track? A Story Diagnostic (manuscript assessment) will help you tone up your plot, characters, structure, and other craft elements so you can publish with confidence. It’s like a developmental edit—without the high cost.
