Hi, I'm Cara! I'm a developmental fiction editor. I love working with authors and creative people! I have a decade of experience providing developmental editing. I am happy to edit any length of story. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and strive to uphold their standards of professionalism and integrity. ----- How does developmental editing differ from copyediting? Developmental (sometimes called substantive) editing doesn't focus on correcting grammar errors, but rather takes a deep look into the story itself. A developmental editor checks for story flow, effectiveness, point of view, passive language, consistency, and areas where your story can be expanded on or polished so that it stays in the minds and hearts of readers. A copyeditor corrects technical details of a manuscript's writing content, such as grammar and spelling. These edits ensure your manuscript is ready for publishing or to send to an agent. Unlike developmental edits, story/plot content is not typically addressed during a copyedit. ----- Which type of editing do you need? Your book or story may require one more than the other, depending on myriad factors. Many stories require both services. If you're curious about the types of editing I offer and which might best serve your needs, please reach out to me!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I am very excited to provide my freelance editing on UpWork! I have a wide range of experience with beta reading, editing and proofreading of documents, novels, novellas, business reports and the like. I have been on UpWork for over two years providing my services. I, currently, am a microbiologist interested in learning new ways to gain experience in proofreading and line editing. I have a wide range of life experience skills from traveling, dragon boat racing, crocheting, dog mom, and microbiology. I have incredible work ethic and I cannot leave a project finished with out making it the best possible. My whole life I have loved books. I have a personal library of over 1000 novels and texts. No, I have not read them all, but I love supporting authors I love. One day would like to own my own bookstore! It is a big dream and that is why I am on UpWork. I want to gain as much experience working with books as I can in any type of way. I would like to eventually edit books as my full time job and move away from the 9-5 life. I have excellent skills with word documents, power point, and excel. I am looking for new projects that I can use to build my resume and work experience in the proofreading and editing world.
