Developmental editing focuses on plot, structure, pacing, characters, and worldbuilding — the big-picture story stuff. 

Line editing hones in on the flow of language, sentence clarity, and voice. 

In my Fairy GodReader service, you get both. Great stories need both strong bones and beautiful language, but since you might have different priorities at different points of the writing process, I’ve separated these out into two different services.

I get it — hiring an editor is an investment, and there are no guarantees in publishing. But here’s the thing: when we work together, I’m not just helping you tweak a draft. I’m making sure your story has all the elements that leave readers hooked and publishers paying attention. 

Think of it as an investment not only in this book, but in your growth as a writer. You'll walk away with a stronger craft, new tools, and more confidence in your voice.

Totally fair point! Editors do come with traditional publishing contracts — but only after a manuscript has made it through the slush pile. That means you have to stand out from page one. Working with me gives you a major advantage: a polished, professional-level manuscript that shows agents and publishers your story is ready for the spotlight.

In other words, working with an editor improves your chances of getting picked up by a traditional publisher.

I specialize in working with unpublished and self-published authors writing fantasy, romance, or romantasy. If you’re early in your writing journey or still figuring things out, you’re in the right place.

Not at all! My number one goal is to enhance your story — not change it. I’m here to preserve your voice and all the magic you’ve created while helping your manuscript reach its full potential.

It depends on the project and service. Most projects are completed within a month, but I’ll confirm your specific timeline once I’ve reviewed your materials. And once we begin, I’ll keep you updated every step of the way, so you’re never left guessing.

Never cruel, always honest. I’m thoughtful, thorough, and deeply invested in helping you succeed. I’ll tell you what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it — with a healthy dose of encouragement and zero ego. (Okay, maybe a little sugarcoating. I’m a Cancer, after all.)

Beta readers are awesome — but I offer a professional perspective that’s structured, strategic, and rooted in both craft and market expectations. I’m not here to skim or praise. I’m here to help you level up your work with industry-aligned insights and deep editorial care.

Maybe! If your project has strong character arcs, speculative or magical elements, or emotional resonance, I’d love to hear more. Reach out with details and we’ll see if it’s a good fit.

Yes — for services over $500, I offer flexible payment plans to help make the investment more manageable. Just let me know what you need.

I typically book 1–2 months out, though I occasionally have sooner availability. If you're on a timeline, reach out early so we can plan accordingly.

While I don’t pitch agents or publishers, I do help get your manuscript submission-ready. I can guide you on next steps, whether you’re querying, self-publishing, or prepping for beta readers.
