PLUS LINE EDITING

I admire those who take the initiative to undertake the arduous path of independently publishing, especially since I myself am of the same aspiration.
Believing in your work is the first step to success, and I believe in that passion. Oftentimes, indie authors don’t have the same access to the editors and publishers at a traditional publishing house, and I am here to offer that support. My goal is to answer: ‘does the plot make sense?’, ‘are the characters fleshed out and do they change by the end?’, and ‘is this ready for publication?’.

In addition to dissecting the narrative intention of the piece one chapter at a time, I will be meticulously analyzing
each sentence as I assess the syntax, grammar, thematic consistency, tonal congruity, and spelling accuracy.

AND DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

This service is for writers who are still in the process of building their stories and have not yet completed their first draft. Rather than focusing on the bigger picture and bringing in the heavy grammar and syntax checking artillery, Alpha Reading serves as a way for you to improve as you go.

Oftentimes, these drafts are unedited, allowing me to provide my rawest and most objective and unfiltered feedback in order to better guide you on your journey to finishing your book. Depending on your needs, I can focus my feedback on your worldbuilding, character development, or something as simple as how engaging the story itself is. 

Have you already gone through your many rounds of beta reading and line editing? Then this is the service for you. Proofreading is the final step before publication, and is different than copy editing. In this case, rather than focusing on tonal clarity and story structure (like I would in the Peer Review service) I will instead focus my attention on spelling, punctuation, and even spacing between words. You never know what your machines miss and what keen-eyed readers will notice!

This is why I started this company in the first place: to support other indie authors. If you’ve finished your novel and have set a publishing date and are in need of ARC readers to spread the word about your upcoming debut, please feel free to reach out to me! I would be honored to read your book and share a review online in order to boost any writer who has taken on the endeavor of self-publishing. I do not have large followings on any of my platforms, but I promise to be honest and kind in my reviews.
