Before I read your manuscript, we’ll talk about what you want to achieve with your memoir and what you expect from our work together. We’ll talk about why you’re writing it. We’ll discuss your story’s target readers, its structure, its symbols, its theme. I’ll use all the insight from our discussion to guide my editing. Since I have a tough time developmental editing without line editing, I’ll zoom in and analyze elements such as word choice, syntax, paragraph structure, dialogue, grammar, and punctuation. In the margins of your manuscript, I’ll provide detailed commentary with suggestions for revision. I’ll also include a letter providing an overview of larger developmental concerns. Additionally, I’ll provide up to three hours of consultation in person, via Zoom, or by phone. If you would like, I will provide a digital recording of our consultation. The goal of the editing and consultation is to not only provide you with an improved manuscript, but also to pass on the skills that help you become a better writer and self-editor.
