I will prepare a detailed critique of your project, including strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions

About:

Are your character's motivations as clear to your readers as they are to you? Does that subplot you've been developing trulyfit into your short story? It's hard to answer those questions yourself, and that's why I'm here. Together, we can polish your work until it shines.

I will delve into your manuscript to hunt down those troublesome issues and bring them to your attention in a comprehensive analysis. This service includes detailed notes on plot, characterization, structure, narrative consistency, and more through in-document comments to pinpoint the exact areas that require extra attention. I will also include a brief summary document for broader observations and suggestions.

With the exception of erotica, I will edit most genres of both fiction and creative nonfiction. If you would like a sample of my work before purchasing a gig, I am happy to read and edit up to 1,000 words of your project free of charge.

Considering placing an order? Please message me beforehand, so we can discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your project.

I am currently booked through mid-August, but will be happy to take on new projects at that point!

Reviews

bonniejane:I received a professional, thorough review with many helpful recommendations. With an eye for detail, Carissa over-delivered. Her gig title of developmental editor is quite apt. Make sure you’re hiring her to make your work shine. She will not do you the disservice of holding back. She will however, easily deliver twice what you paid.

zissad:Thank you for your kind review!

freudberg:Wow. Excellent seller. Comprehensive, insightful and she delivered ahead of schedule. Absolutely essential feedback.

zissad:Happy to be of service! I look forward to working with you again!

brogath:Communication was excellent, and the value here can't be overstated. I will be looking to Carissa for all my developmental work on future books as well. Awesome!
