Big-Picture Editing for

Self-Publishing Authors

A compelling story isn’t accidental — it’s constructed.

If you’re committed to making your manuscript stronger, I’m committed to giving you clear, structured, and actionable big-picture feedback. I work collaboratively with self-published writers who want more than surface-level notes — authors who care about pacing, character depth, and emotional payoff.

Curious about my approach and what working together looks like?

What is Developmental Editing?

    • Story structure and plot cohesion

    • Character arcs and motivation

    • Pacing and narrative tension

    • Scene effectiveness

    • Stakes and emotional impact

    • Clarity of theme and reader experience

    If line editing polishes sentences, developmental editing shapes the book.

  • Each cohort author receives:

    ✔ A comprehensive editorial letter (10–20+ pages depending on manuscript length)
    ✔ In-manuscript margin comments with specific observations
    ✔ Clear, prioritized revision guidance
    ✔ A post-feedback discussion call (optional but encouraged)

    You will walk away with:

    • A clear understanding of what’s working

    • Specific areas to revise

    • A structured plan for your next draft

  • This cohort is ideal for:

    • Self-published authors preparing for release

    • Kindle Unlimited writers looking to elevate craft

    • Writers who feel “something isn’t working” but can’t pinpoint why

    • Authors who want serious, honest, actionable critique

    This is not a beta read or light commentary.
    It is detailed, structured developmental analysis.

  • Because this is portfolio-building work, spots are limited.

    • Cohorts run in small groups (3–5 authors at a time)

    • Timelines are clearly defined before work begins

    • Communication expectations are established up front

    Once a cohort fills, the next intake opens the following cycle.
