I’ve started up a sideline in story structure editing (also called developmental or conceptual editing). This is the step before line editing and typically deals with big picture issues. I provide an Editorial Report as well as comments within the manuscript itself.
If your first draft is a mess and you don’t have a clue how to fix it, or if you know there’s something wrong with your story, but can’t put your finger on what, I can probably help you.
What makes me qualified? I have over a dozen traditionally published novels to my credit. In addition to revising my own work, I have been a member of a writer’s critique group for over 30 years.
PLEASE NOTE: Rates are in CANADIAN DOLLARS which is usually less than U.S. dollars
I know how tight money can be for writers and artists so I offer some discounts.
