     I can help you edit your ebook, give a developmental review of your novel or screenplay, copy-edit and line-edit your ready-to-go manuscript, and give an assessment of your book’s marketability. I can ghost-write your memoir, help create a query letter, critique and edit your nonfiction book proposal, and/or nonfiction book project.

     To define a couple of easy to confuse terms: A developmental assessment for fiction is an above-the-trees view of your manuscript, meaning fine-point consideration of important story-pillar components like characterization, concept, plot, pacing, tone, theme, and marketability. I’ll tell you what’s working and why, and suggest ideas for changing things that are not. 

     Copyediting and line-editing are for manuscripts needing a final polish before submission or publication. Word choice is scrutinized, as well as sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency of usage.
