I will assess your novel or work using content editing and line editing, both focused by the critical imagination. Critical imagination unites high-level vision with grounded realities such as markets and what your reader wants.
CONTENT EDITING
Content Editing will enhance and give feedback on the substance of the text, including vision, narrative drive, character arcs, depth, height, appeal, and readability. Feedback can touch on plot, characterization, theme, hooks, inciting incidents, arcs, pacing, conflict, setting, and genre, as well as more specific elements including subtext, context, and tension.
If you want just content editing, the feedback will be returned in the form of a letter and would not include line-by-line editing of the text. Any plot holes, inconsistencies, lack of conflict, pacing issues, and other problems will be identified. This level of editing specifically looks at portals of possibility—what dimensions are currently lacking that if addressed, will remind the work how to become its best self.
LINE EDITING
This is my favourite! Line by line, your work will be evaluated and edited for such things as style, tone, dialogue tags, flow, word choice, clarity, line-by-line continuity, potency, descriptions, structure, voice, and impact. This edit will polish everything to perfection. This is NOT a final proof-reading before publication: hire a proofreader for that. You will receive this editing in the form of tracked changes in a document.
Most often, line-editing and content editing is combined in one comprehensive edit.
