I offer freelance editing services for prose and comic projects of any length. I specialise in genre and speculative fiction but have a particular love for horror in all it's shapes and sizes.

My comics work includes Headspace(IDW), Eternal and Beautiful Canvas (Black Mask) and many more independent comic titles.

For descriptions of what I can offer, please see below.

Developmental Editing

This focuses on core aspects of a script or manuscript, focusing on such things as character, setting, plot, pacing, and point of view.

• Suggestions, comments, and questions about the tale's strengths and weaknesses. I will gear my critique toward your stated writing goals.

• Line comments in a .doc or .docx manuscript using the Word or Google Docs' comment function.

Line and Copy Editing

This focuses on your script or manuscript’s readability and style. It also looks at issues with grammar and punctuation.

• Two read-throughs of your manuscript to ensure thorough edits.
• Line comments in a .doc or .docx manuscript using the Microsoft Word or Google Docs comment function.

Combined

This includes both of the above.

• All services listed for both developmental editing package & line and copy editing package.

Follow up video/phone calls are also available to creators post-edit.

Requests

• What your goals for the script or manuscript are (including word count for the latter).
