Manuscript Shredding

Get your manuscript in shape for querying or self-publishing – whether that's honing your sentence level craft, tightening up pacing, identifying plot holes, deepening character arcs, or just checking spelling and grammar.

In my 4 years in publishing I've edited hundreds of video scripts, 13 short stories, and 12 full-length manuscripts – including 2 that were picked up by publishing houses (Dot Slash Magic, Dot Slash Mayhem) and the one that got me signed by my agent (Savage.) I've worked with editors at Angry Robot, and have written for social media, technical blogs, and freelance copywriting outlets.

My specialty lies in sci-fi, fantasy, and romance, with a keen eye for world-building, pacing, and dialogue.

I can help you hook readers from the first sentence, build complex worlds without info-dumping, and streamline and sharpen your dialogue to create natural-sounding banter that builds character and drives the narrative.

If that's what you're looking for, check out the rates below. To get a quote, please send the first chapter of your manuscript, along with total word count and the services you're seeking.
