Editing Services

Helen is a qualified and experienced editor who is always on the look out for a new project to immerse herself in.

Does your manuscript need a set of fresh eyes on it? Does it need proofreading before you submit it to publishers? Are you looking for an general overview on what to improve?

Manuscript Assessment

A manuscript assessment offers authors feedback on the overall quality of their work, with a particular focus on structure, pacing, setting, voice, character development and plot.

Helen accepts manuscripts of up to 90,000 words and provides a 3000 word reader’s report, as well as a 30 minute phone/Skype session within 4 weeks of receiving the manuscript.

Structural/Developmental Editing

A structural edit looks at the ‘big picture’ and evaluates the manuscript as a whole book.

This edit will determine the strengths and weakness of the core novel elements such as plot, character, pacing, setting and formatting.

Your manuscript will be marked with track changes and comments for you to consider. You will also receive a report of problem areas and further email support.
