“I am really impressed by the way you developed my novel and brought it to life. You captured the mystery and suspense of the story and made it real. I think your work is superior to other editors and I’ll recommend others. Keep on creating! You’re awesome!”
~J. F. D’Amato, Seeds of the Lemon Grove
I will take your manuscript and provide structural editing, book doctoring and line editing. This involves working on the plot structure, scene development, character development, dialogue, physical setting/descriptions, and narrative voice. I will maintain your voice throughout the manuscript. You only have one chance to make a good first impression and you don’t want to blow it with an agent or a major publisher. I will make your manuscript shine. I will make it very marketable and appealing.
It’s a demanding, complex process and takes a skilled writer and editor to do it. I am a published author as well as a ghostwriter, book doctor and developmental editor and have more than 25 years of experience. Most editors who claim they can edit your book only do copy editing, or some slightly bulked up version of it. That’s because they are only really qualified to do copy editing. Their fees may sound very low. They’re low for a reason. It’s because they’re not qualified to do the kind of developmental editing that I provide. Practically speaking, they want to take the easy route of simply going through your manuscript, correcting errors in the existing text, without addressing the types of issues that will immediately earn a form rejection letter.
If you’re serious about getting your book published, then you’ll contact me to edit and revise your novel.
"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you."
