Cutting straight to the chase, after getting your manuscript, fiction or nonfiction: 1. I do the first read-through, which informs me to write you a manuscript assessment report (highlighting your book's strengths and weaknesses - I have lots of samples of this if you need one). 2. I then proceed to an in-draft developmental edit, with detailed margin comments, so that your revisions are scene-by-scene specific. 3. After you're done with revisions, I do a line and copy edit of your manuscript, followed by a final proofread. This whole process comes with intense communication between you and me, including clarifications and brainstorming ideas to make your book even better. **Please note: I also offer book coaching/structural coaching as the draft is being built. This preventive editing model can save you MASSIVE time-consuming rewrites later.** 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 • Fiction and nonfiction books • Children’s books (picture books, early readers, middle grade, and young adult) • Devotionals and Christian theology manuscripts • Self-help books • Poetry and anthologies • Short story writing and collections 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Such a nice experience working with Celestine. She listens, did all the changes, and good at her work." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Celestine was professional, quick, and offered excellent advice and feedback! You will not be disappointed!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Celestine was very responsive and quick. Went above and beyond!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Nice work Celestine!" (Outside the Upwork Platform) Final Note: If you need professional book editing, proofreading, or strategic storytelling and creative writing support, send me a job invite, a direct message, book a consultation session, or schedule an Upwork Zoom meeting. Ready when you are! I look forward to hearing about your book! Sincerely, Celestine.
