Editorial Services
I offer two levels of editorial services:
Manuscript Critique — a “big picture” editorial review focusing on items like plot, character development, narrative pacing, and so forth; this is a good fit if you’re looking for overall perspective and/or you know the manuscript needs significant work but aren’t clear on how best to revise.
- or -
- Full Developmental Edit — a real nitty-gritty edit that includes all the elements of the critique, but also delves much more deeply into the manuscript, with specific line edits, comments, narrative suggestions, as well as a detailed editorial letter; this is the best bet if you feel like your manuscript is close to where you want it, but needs more polish and/or that extra push to get it to the next level.
My rates are tailored individually to each project. Please contact me at sjveditorial@gmail.com for more information.
