Book Editing Services
Giving You Next Steps for Future Revisions
Submitting your work to an agent requires both a polished manuscript and an outstanding submission packet. Both my Development Edit and Query Support services are for writers who have completed at least one draft of their manuscript and/or submission packet (including the query letter, synopsis, and 10 pages of work).
Note: My services do not include copyediting or proofreading! They’re about big picture edits and shaping your story.
