Is an amazing story idea giving you the runaround? Don’t abandon it yet! More than an evaluation, development editing ensures the bones of your story are strong. Together we’ll distill the big picture elements so you can run away with details and nuances. We’ll comb through characters, events, setting, and themes already present in your current draft to unearth the story you are telling and an enthralling way to tell it.
I’m your sounding board. I offer insights from a reader perspective of what’s not jiving in the draft. From there, I offer editorial suggestions of how to align and enhance your story elements.
This story is yours. My role and goal in this process is to enhance the story by guiding deep edits authentic to your writing voice.
