Editing

Until I recorded The Corpse in The Cabana, I didn’t realize that reading like a narrator meant I could be a developmental editor. Since I read every word, “watch” the scenes in my head and hear the language, I’m highly attuned to characters and continuity. These qualities are a huge asset, and I found myself enjoying making books-in-progress better.

The website Reedsy advises, “Bring in a developmental editor when you’re ready to move beyond drafting, or when you feel there’s something missing but you need someone to help you see what it is.” If you have fiction you want to improve prior to final copyediting, hit me up!
