Developmental Editor

$22/hr Starting at $25

I am a quality developmental editor who can offer valuable insights into what makes your work tick. If you write fiction: I will find the plot holes, the out of character moments, the stilted dialogue, the misplaced paragraph breaks and the really unnecessary scenes, I will point out your info dumps, your bland descriptions, and I will do it all with a friendly smile and one on one feedback full of suggestions for improvement. If you write non-fiction: I can help with organizational issues plus all of the above when applicable. However! I will not: edit your sex scenes or provide 100% comprehensive grammar edits. Each edit features a minimum 2 round reading. Reading 1 is the "no pen" read although glaring errors may be marked, this is when I spend time telling you what my initial thoughts are as I read; reading 2 is the nitpicking. The general turn around time is three days for works under 20,000 words, one week for works at or around 50,000 words, and two weeks for works over 100,000 words, though I may be able to give you a better idea with a precise word count. As a rule of thumb, it took me 12 hours to read a 117,000 word piece of particularly engaging fiction. Fiction turn around will be faster than non-fiction.
