Chickadee Revisions
You’ve done the fun part: writing a steamy, squee-worthy story! That’s a huge accomplishment! Now you deserve to kick back and relax while someone else panics about whipping your words into shape for your agent, publisher, or self-publishing platform of choice.
I specialize in working with indie romance authors who need help making their awesome stories even more awesome. Editing is stressful. I’ll lose sleep so you don’t have to.
Why You Need a Professional Editor
♥ What I Can Do For You ♥
I offer four editing services for romance writers:
Manuscript Evaluations
Manuscript evaluation addresses “big picture” issues like plot and character development. I’ll provide feedback in the form of a written narrative report.
Developmental Editing
A developmental edit includes manuscript evaluation, plus I’ll make additional comments and more detailed suggestions in the margins of your draft.
Stylistic Editing
Stylistic editing is my favorite! I’ll address issues on the paragraph and sentence level, and you’ll get detailed feedback on word choice, sentence structure, figurative language, imagery, and more.
Copyediting
I’ll help you fine-tune your words by cleaning up errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar and revising the text for clarity and readability while preserving your unique authorial voice.
Find more info about my services (including detailed descriptions and rates) on my website, or email me for a quote.
