I will be your developmental book editor

About:

**Editor of USA Today, Washington Post & Amazon bestselling novels**

WARNING: This gig is for fiction/memoir writers who are serious about taking their work to a commercial level. If you are not ready for professional criticism then it is not for you. All non-fiction (bar memoir) will be canceled if ordered. 

Developmental book editing includes:

• In-line comments inserted into the manuscript regarding plot and character arcs, pace, tone, style, clarity, structure, and if you've adequately 'hooked' the reader. 

• 10 - 25 min voice recording of general recommendations about key strengths, and how to improve weak points. I don't just highlight issues, but offer specific examples and solutions, focussing on commercial viability.

I specialize in long-form narrative genres including romance, YA, sci-fi, action, fantasy and memoir. No non-fiction, children's (under 13 years) or short stories, sorry!

I'm a full-time, bestselling fiction editor. My work and life have been featured in The Telegraph (UK) and "Best of Ninc" publication by Novelists Inc. (US), an exclusive association for multi-bestselling authors.

Please contact me for a custom word count.
