Editor, Writer, Reader
Welcome to my world of editing and writing! Stay awhile! Here, you will find information about my editing services and my own published work.
Editing services
I have a passion to help other writers bring their story vision to life. I am dedicated to help craft, refine, and perfect your novel, ensuring clear communication and a warm connection with your audience.
-
My developmental editing services encompass everything you need to dive deep into plot, characters, pacing, setting, story structure, and more. It includes in-text comments, and a 4-6 page Reader Response that summarized my thoughts and suggestions.
-
My line and copy editing services encompass all things grammar, punctuation, word choice, sentence flow, and more. I provide a Track Changes copy and a Clean copy to review.
-
This service combines a developmental edit and a line/copy edit. This edit covers A LOT of information; it takes multiple aspects of the editing process and combines them into one.
-
From beginning to end, this walks through every aspect of the editing process. It starts with a Beta Read and basic Reader Response, then moves to a Developmental Edit which includes a full response and critique, after that, we move to the Line and Copy edit, and finally, we complete the Proofread on your novel. I will work on your timeline for this service.
“I’ve been through this process many times and I’m not sure I’ve ever received better editing. The edits provided were thorough and actionable. I would not only recommend, but I would absolutely use this editor again. Thank you!”
What people are saying…
“Valerie did an amazing job. Although my novel has had several rounds of professional editing, she was still able to fine-tune the writing flow, and correct grammar and punctuation, of a 105,000 word manuscript in one week. After mid-way through reading her corrections and not finding a single one I disagreed with, I was comfortable hitting ‘accept all’. :) Thanks Valerie!”
“I am not easy on editors. I write in a mix of US and British English spellings and my tenses are all over the place. I am very happy with the final product and the price I paid for it. Will be hiring again in the future”
“She nailed it 100% nailed. She took what I wrote and was able to expand it and help me fix what my “editor” ruined. Will 100% use her for all my book needs. Thank you so much! I will definitely send you a copy when published.”
“Valerie is amazing! I needed an editor who understood my writing style. Vallie gives amazing suggestions. There were many parts in my story that I questioned and she pointed them out and let me know how to improve them. If you need an excellent editor who won’t sugar coat things and will give constructive feedback, Valerie is the one to go to!”
“Working with her is such a joy that I almost considered leaving a bad review - mainly because I want her for ALL my books! Seriously, if I could hire her full-time and keep her all to myself, l’d do it in a heartbeat. I guess I’ll have to settle for sharing her brilliance with the world! She’s done a development edit on over a dozen of my books and light copy edits to keep me looking smart!”
