I Don't

  • Copy Edit your manuscript. While I may correct minor issues as I go, copy editing is not included in my services. I strongly recommend hiring a professional copy editor to handle this stage. A skilled copy editor will focus on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and fact-checking, ensuring your manuscript is polished and accurate. Copy editing is typically the final step in the editorial process, fine-tuning the details before publication.
  • Please note that developmental edits focus on the overall structure, content, and flow of your manuscript. They do not address sentence-level errors, such as punctuation or grammatical typos
  • Developmental editors typically don't address sentence-level errors like punctuation and grammar typos.

Coaching Included

As a developmental editor with a Master’s in Human Services Management and a forty-year (add this line) background in case management, I bring more than just technical expertise to the table, I bring empathy and a deep understanding of the creative process. My unique experience allows me to guide your (typo should be you) through the fears, doubts, and roadblocks that often arise when using your authentic voice.
