Editing Services
-
Ideal if you are looking for a developmental editor and want to see if we’re the right fit.
Start with a free developmental sample edit of your opening pages (up to 1,500 words).
-
Ideal if you’re looking for comprehensive feedback on the big-picture elements of your manuscript before line editing or copyediting. Developmental editing examines the foundation of your story, evaluating what’s working and what’s not to help you prepare for a confident revision.
-
Ideal if you have a completed draft and want honest reader feedback before querying, self-publishing, or moving into the next stage of revision.
As a beta reader, I read your manuscript the way your target audience would. I evaluate your opening, character arcs, pacing, and emotional payoff, and of course look at where readers may disengage.
About Me
Hi, I’m Rita.
I think the best stories let us escape to new worlds, spark new thoughts and emotions, and stay with us long after we finish them. That's why I love working with authors to uncover the strongest version of their manuscripts.
With developmental editing training, a sharp eye for story structure, and an avid reader's enthusiasm, I'll offer advice to strengthen your manuscript without compromising your vision for the story.
Professional Training
I completed training through the EAA and have a background in journalism, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
