You don't need a subject matter expert—you need a language expert.
My name is Rebecca, and I'm a native English speaker with a BA in Creative Writing and English, CPD certification in proofreading and editing, extensive freelance and contract editing experience, and a lifelong passion for writing and storytelling. My experience working with a variety of documents, from academic papers to works of fiction, makes me a flexible editor able to adapt to a variety of styles, tones, and genres. I am always eager to learn new techniques, software, style guides, and best practices, as well.
I am proficient in working with both short- and long-term projects, depending on a writer's needs. I am also an open communicator who aims to work together with the author and other project members to ensure the best possible results.
I don't just read over your text and pick up stray commas; I carefully review projects for cohesiveness, clarity, and consistency alongside grammatical correctness. Good editing takes time, but it's worth it to make your text the best it can be.
PLEASE NOTE: I will not work with AI-generated content. AI-assisted content will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

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!
