Services Provided
Developmental Editing Service
This service provides a thorough read of your work with
in-manuscript commentary, including
content, copy and line editing.
I will offer suggestions for awkward sentences, story consistency, plot holes, timeline and character inconsistency, pacing, and tips to avoid unnecessary repetition of words and phrases.
You are welcome to contact authors with whom I have worked.
A Tweak and A Touch Up
Sometimes a few errors have slipped through editing eyes prior to publication. This services provides one read through of your published work, offering minor feedback suggestions, with a primary focus on strengthening sentences, and catching errors previously missed.
Some of the books I have worked on
I offer kind, honest, and insightful comments laced with
good humor and integrity.
I read a broad range of genre. My editing strength is YA, NA, Romantic Suspense, Erotica and Contemporary Romance.
My References
There are different stages to the editing process. As an author, you need someone who can specialise in what you need at each stage.
Therefore, I offer six different editing packages. My job is to work alongside you to produce excellence, and be your cheerleader in the process.
Copy Editing
This very detailed editing service focuses on the mechanics of the manuscript, grammar, and punctuation.
About Making Manuscripts
. . . even if you are established at a publisher with a dedicated editor, Marion has a perspective and an editorial hand
that is beautifully additive. ~ Christina Lauren ~ NYT, USA Today, and Internationally Bestselling authors
Content Editing
with in-manuscript commentary
This service covers creative editing of your work, providing you with detailed observations on character, storyline, timeline, plot, pacing, and story believability.
This is done within the manuscript.
Final Eyes Proofreading
This service provides a thorough proofread after the Copy Edit.
