Developmental Editing Service
This service provides two thorough read-throughs of your work with in-manuscript commentary, including
content, line and copyediting.
I will offer suggestions for awkward sentences, story consistency, plot holes, timeline and character inconsistency, pacing, and tips to avoid unnecessary repetition of words, phrases, and more.
Some of the books I have worked on
Final-Eyes Proofreading
This service provides a thorough proofread after the copyedit.
Copyediting
This very detailed editing service focuses on the mechanics of the manuscript, grammar, and punctuation.
A Tweak and A Touch Up
Sometimes a few errors have slipped through editing eyes prior to publication. This services provides one read of your published work, offering minor feedback suggestions, with a primary focus on strengthening sentences, and catching errors previously missed.
. . . even if you are established at a publisher with a dedicated editor, Marion has a perspective and an editorial hand that is beautifully additive.
