Line Editing
As a line editor I specialize in fiction, specifically:
Crime
Thriller & Suspense
Paranormal/Supernatural
(e.g. Paranormal/Supernatural Crime, Paranormal/Supernatural Thriller & Suspense)
Romance
(e.g. Romantic Thriller & Suspense, Paranormal/Supernatural Romance, Christian Romance)
Christian fiction
(e.g. Supernatural/Paranormal Christian, Christian Crime, Christian Thriller & Suspense)
I sift through your manuscript, line-by-line, for issues like:
- Imprecise word choice
- Forced dialogue
- Awkward sentences and phrasing
- Lack of clarity
- Unnecessary repetition
- Lack of flow and consistency
- Struggling with transitions
- Inconsistencies with your voice and style
- Unorganized paragraphs and passages
- Telling instead of showing
- Maintain your voice
- Work collaboratively
- Bolster your story with research and fact-checking, if needed
- Provide suggestions for how to fix issues found
Always striving to:
- Never rewrite your story, adding my comments on the side for you to choose to accept or not
- Be supportive, but forthright
- Maintain open lines of communication
- Make this small step in your publishing journey the best one
