I really enjoyed editing the YA scifi book last week. I would like to edit a book a month. I'm really good at it and I love to do it. It's a weird kind of joy, to take a book and make it even better. #developmentaleditor #editing #amediting #horroreditor #horrorwriterschat

📢 Reminder to authors: Please book your editors in advance! 🙏
I had to turn down two authors recently that I really wanted to work with, because they needed someone to start right away, and I was booked.

I offer packages with 8+ pages of detailed notes and also a no notes option where the writer types up notes from our Zoom themself. All work comes with a Zoom or phonecall as part of the price.

What might surprise you about my work? I read each manuscript three times and the first time I make no notes and read it purely as a reader. The no written notes by me option where you write up our Zoom conversation can be as little a £250 for a whole novel. Every writer who’s worked with me on developing their first three chapters has been asked for the whole manuscript by agents. Some writers hire me to read their books and write their synopsis as they find that the hardest bit. Some writers hire me to edit as they write the first draft, submitting three chapters at a time and a discussion via Zoom. I have developmental edited several series by self published writers.

It's always a bit nerve wracking for #CreativeWriters to let go of their work into the world 🤔😱 The first stage of that might be to a #DevelopmentalEditor #ProofReader or #CopyEditor 🤔 If anyone wants editing services from someone who will be gentle with you, consider using: www.angel-editing.com

How do you know what type of editing is best for your manuscript?

The needs of each manuscript and each author vary. I provide two services that make the decision easier.

Dear book editors, how do you schedule out spots per month for projects?
I'm doing dev editing, line editing, and proofreading. If anyone can give me advice on how many spots of each editing type to do per month, it'd be much appreciated! ❤️
