Structural Editing
So you’ve finished a draft of your book—but is it any good? Structural editing takes care of the larger elements of your story like plot and character development, as well as smoothing out your prose and improving your writing.
Technical Editing
Proofreading can make or break your book, and poor proofreading sounds the death knell for a self-published book. No spelling, grammar, word usage, punctuation, or consistency error will escape this thorough check!
Complete Edit
This package offers you a structural edit first, with tips to improve your writing and suggestions for strengthening plot, character development, structure, and more. This is followed by a thorough proofread.
Structural Editing
This is a combination of developmental editing and line editing. The parameters will vary depending on genre but tend to work with the “wider” structural elements of your writing. This can include character development, story arcs, plot holes, dialogue, narrative flow, consistent and appropriate tone, idea development, organization, and argument. We will also help to smooth rough prose and choppy transitions.

What my clients have to say…
It’s an amazing feeling to bring this part of the journey to a close, and I absolutely could not have done it without [Rachel]! She has been such an amazing partner in making this story truly shine, and I am forever grateful. And to think, I used to be afraid of editors!
Service: Complete Editing Package
I am so impressed with the work [Rachel] has done. It made me realize how much I love this story!
Helpful, encouraging, and brilliant.
Service: Structural Editing
I can’t believe how much I love the way my book just came together. The story suddenly shines through so well, and even though I know there were hundreds of edits, I can’t even tell where they were when I read through the final copy! Everything is so smooth and flows so well! I am super grateful to have worked with [Rachel] on this project.
