For a detailed breakdown, check out the services page or the individual page for the particular type of edit you are interested in.

I tailor my editing to the specific genre. Genre readers come with specific expectations, whether it's the suspense and twists in a thriller, the emotional depth in romance, or the intricate world-building in fantasy. I ensure these expectations are met by adhering to the conventions fans expect, while still leaving room for innovation and uniqueness.

Different genres often have different standards in the publishing world and understanding these publishing nuances helps in crafting a manuscript that not only pleases readers but appeals to publishers.

Incorporating fiction theory is another critical aspect. This involves understanding narrative structures, character development, pacing, and thematic elements that are prevalent in each genre.

To summarize, my approach considers reader expectations, publishing standards, and fiction theory to ensure that your manuscript fits within its genre without tampering the unique heart of your story.

With a diverse educational background in history, life sciences, and literary studies, I bring a unique perspective to various genres. Whether it's historical accuracy in romance or realism in horror and science fiction, I ensure your story's authenticity and appeal.
