Developmental and line editing services
Are you stuck in the messy middle and don’t know how to proceed? Already completed your manuscript and need an editor to fine tune your work? Let’s bring your best book to market!
The Author’s Writer is here to help wherever you are in the process.
The Author’s Writer’s expertise in developmental and line editing has been honed from decades of experience as a college/university teacher of English and decades of experience in editing manuscripts.
When you choose to work with me as your editor, I will read and review your manuscript for its overall appeal and organization, highlighting areas that may be confusing to your readers and/or lacking in detail. I will also perform a thorough examination, providing suggestions on how you can reorganize, restate, or reword your book to make it better and more readable. My overall goal is to help you turn your book into a page-turner.
Once you email me your document as a Word doc, we will convene for a phone or Zoom consultation, so I can better understand what you are looking for in the edit. Throughout the editing process, I will keep you apprised of my progress. Upon completion of your edit, you will receive a summary report as well as the edited version of your document using the MSWord Track Changes feature.

You worked hard on your book. Now work with an experienced editor. Don’t shortchange your work.
