Editorial Services
* NEW SERVICE * Coaching
You’ve got fantastic idea for a novel. Maybe you’re partway through and you’ve ground to a halt. Maybe you’ve written the first draft, but revisions have got you spinning in circles with your head in your hands. All you know is that if you just had a bit of encouragement and support, you could get this project over the line without losing your love of the story you created.
This is where author coaching comes in! This service includes a 90 minute consultation call every two weeks, bespoke assignments to complete to help you move forward in your project, and feedback of up to 10k of your project between each consultation call.
Coaching is specifically designed for authors who are ready to commit to their project, and this service is offered either as a 12 week or 24 week option.
Manuscript Evaluation
You and your manuscript are ready for a professional’s eyes on your work! You’re excited to work with someone who is going to give you positive, enthusiastic, but constructive feedback on your writing.
A very affordable option, the manuscript evaluation will provide you with feedback on your book’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as some helpful resources, but will leave it up to you to decide what changes will need to be made and how to go about making those edits to your manuscript.
Manuscript Critique
You’ve written your novel and you know it’s good, but you’re in need of some direction on where it can be improved, finessed and polished.
This service offers a bespoke editorial report that gives constructive, encouraging feedback on the ‘big picture’ elements of your manuscript, championing where your narrative excels and highlighting ways in which it can be improved.
Developmental Edit
You’re committed to this manuscript. You’ve had beta readers, you’ve revised, you’ve tweaked and agonised, plotted and replotted. You’re finally happy with the results and you’re ready to give your book baby the best shot to make its way in the world. You want the full package.
A full developmental edit includes not only an editorial report, but in-depth, detailed edits and notes within the manuscript itself. The developmental edit will use in-text comments to highlight specific examples and give suggestions for improvements throughout.
Editorial Consultancy
Stalled? Edits have you going around in circles? Unsure how to deal with feedback from beta readers?
If you aren’t looking for anything in-depth, but just want some feedback or advice from a developmental editor then this might be the service you need to get you back on track with your edits. This option gives you a 90 minute Zoom call with me to discuss a specific issue you are struggling with.
Bespoke Developmental Services
Still not sure which service you need? Or perhaps you would like something a little more bespoke?
I offer other services that can be specifically tailored to your needs, including opening chapter critiques or beta reads, for example.
Contact me directly to discuss your needs and I’ll see what I can do to provide a service specific to you.
