✨Step Four: The Follow-up Call

Within two weeks of receiving your edit, we’ll schedule a friendly follow-up call to clarify the feedback and answer any questions you may have. The goal of this call is to ensure you feel confident moving forward with the revision process! [...] 9/10 ➜

Finally, I’ll compile all my insights into an extensive editorial letter highlighting your manuscript's strengths and weaknesses, as well as providing in-depth, actionable feedback designed to enhance your story. 8/10 ➜

I'll take notes on big-picture story elements including plot structure, pacing, dialogue, character development, cast design, worldbuilding, point of view, and more. As I perform the second pass, I’ll refine those notes and add sidebar comments directly onto your manuscript [...] 7/10 ➜

Afterwards, I’ll compile these notes into a concise report that pinpoints your manuscript’s overall strengths and weaknesses, and outlines some recommended next steps.

• Developmental Edit: I’ll conduct two passes (readings) of your manuscript. During the first pass, [...] 6/10 ➜

✨Step Three: The Editing Process

This looks slightly different depending on the service you’ve selected. Here’s a quick breakdown of the various options:

• Manuscript Evaluation: I’ll perform a single pass (reading) of your text while taking notes in a separate document [...] 5/10 ➜

✨Step Two: The Contract

The next big step is the contract. Before we sign, we’ll discuss all relevant details, including payment plans and editing timelines. This to ensure that every part of the process remains fully transparent! 4/10 ➜

I’ll ask about things like your story’s genre, word count, content warnings, and your editing preferences—including any areas you’d like me to focus on. Your answers help me personalise my approach so you get the most out of our collaboration should you decide to move forward with me! 3/10 ➜

✨Step One: The Onboarding Call.

Once you get in touch, we’ll schedule a very relaxed (totally free!) 45-minute onboarding call. This is a great way for you to get to know me and see how I work, as well as a fantastic way for me to learn about your manuscript [...] 2/10 ➜

Can’t wait to read this! Congratulations!

Agreed! 🥂

The first three things on your list! A beautiful cover will grab my attention, a great pitch will make me crack open the cover, and a strong opening chapter (or, more likely, a strong first couple pages) will seal the deal.

It really depends on the individual text! Some need 2-3 rounds of editing and re-drafting, and some need 5-6. The best way to figure out if your book is publication ready is to run it by beta readers and/or a professional editor (the latter can even help reduce the amount of drafts necessary!).
