Developmental editing for character-driven fantasy, speculative fiction, and romance, with a focus on motivation, POV, pacing, structure, and emotional payoff. My goal is not to rewrite your book into the way I would have written it. I identify what the manuscript is trying to accomplish, where it isn’t yet landing, and help you find a stronger version of your own story and prose.
