Who Am I?

My name is Rebecca, and I am a developmental editor! I work mainly in the fiction genre, and I want to help strengthen your novel or series so it can become the absolute best it can be. Whether you’re a debut author looking for developmental editing or a seasoned author hoping to get some extra help, I can be there for you. My mission is to help you, the author, bring your story to life in the best way possible. I want to work with authors who write stories that give people the chance to escape their lives for just a little while.

What is Developmental Editing?

A developmental edit(DE) is a deep analysis of your manuscript that looks at big picture elements of your manuscript, such as:

  • Themes

  • Organization of the plot

  • Pacing

  • Development of the characters

  • World-building

  • Overall story structure

  • Voice

While a DE is necessary for all manuscripts, this service is great for fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, and big-world books or series.

Who Do I Work With?

My primary genre specialties include: Adult, YA, and NA sci-fi, fantasy, and romance novels or series, with the occasional memoir. I have broad experience in mystery, thriller, and lit-fic novels as well! Working with first-time novelists, indie authors, self-publishing writers, authors preparing to query agents, or small presses and agencies is my goal.
