Editing Services

Is your story clearly defined or shallow? Does your framework hold your story tightly together? Do your plot points drive your story forward? Does your story use the three-act-structure planning that provides the audience with a sense of momentum? Do you spoon-feed the audiences with your scenes and chapters or you allow them to participate with their imagination? Are your characters credible enough for the audience to be involved in your story? Does your story span all the craft areas to give the audience a stream of emotions and make your story successful? We'll know this with my service.

Manuscript Critique

A critique is good for early drafts as it helps you to understand the big pictures of your story, assists in towing plot lines through, and provides suggestions for improvement or ideas on storylines and character development. My manuscript critique is designed to provide broad feedback on your work’s narrative: structure, plotting, the point of view, pacing, characterization, dialogue, storytelling, writing style, and mechanics. Your demonstration qualities such as grammar and spelling would be touched to some extent, but not dealt with.

Manuscripts and Screenplays Proofing Services

If you’ve worked very hard then you owe it to yourself to get a professional proofing of your project before sending it out to the marketplace. It is no secret that the main reason manuscripts and screenplays are rejected is a poor presentation. Irrespective of how well-written and thrilling your story may be, typographical errors and sloppy grammar leave the reader with a low opinion of both the writer and the piece. And there is no recovering from a bad first impression. That is why it is important to have a professional proofread your piece before you send it out for purchase. I provide efficient and reliable thorough proof-editing services at competitive rates.

Screenplay Consultation

For screenplay consultation, I do not read your piece. Instead, I exchange emails to discuss your story and characters through a series of targeted questions. I will focus on the challenges and weaknesses of your story structure, offering specific suggestions for improvements.

My goal with this consultation is for you to leave with a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of your story and a roadmap for how to write (or rewrite) it.
