What My Clients Say
EDITING DETAILS
Non-fiction
I make sure your point is clear, the structure is compelling, and the writing flows. I can provide comments for you to incorporate, or I can edit directly in the document. Direct edits are useful for tightening language or meeting deadlines.
Fiction
I provide detailed feedback for each element of your project, including: narrative structure, character depth and continuity, scenes, pacing, conflict, dialogue and resolution.
Polishing
I correct typographical, spelling, and punctuation errors while pointing out unclear or overused words and phrases. I am careful to respect your writing style – your unique voice overrides rules of grammar.
