Services

I’m a developmental and line editor

Whichever service you pick, the goal is the same: to make sure readers experience the story as you imagined it. I’m not here to rewrite the book in my voice. I’m here to sharpen yours.

Manuscript Evaluation

The first look. I read the full manuscript and send you an editorial letter: where the book is strong, where it stumbles, and what I’d tackle first.

Developmental Editing

This is the structural edit. I’m digging into plot, pacing, character arcs, stakes, and whether each scene is earning its place.

Line Editing

For when the story is in shape and the sentences need attention. I work through every line for rhythm, clarity, word choice, and dialogue that reads like people talking.

Developmental and Line Editor

“So what do I bring to the table? For education, I have a BA in English and Creative Writing and an MA in Publishing. My work experience is in acquisitions and editing. The first taught me what lifts a manuscript to the top of the slush pile. The second put me inside the making of books, and I realized that every step of the process deserves the same devotion as the writing. That is the foundation of Moon Maiden Press.”
