I will bring an objective perspective, offering feedback that friends or family might overlook. (It’s not their fault; they love you!)

Forensic500
I take an in-depth look at the first 500 words of your story or novel. It is an excellent tool for improving your writing skills and saving on future editing costs.
Copyediting/Line editing
If your project requires sentence-level editing to improve readability, then a copyedit is your best option.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the essential final polish of your manuscript before publishing. It ensures that grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting are precise and ready for publication.
Teach 10,000
This service offers a great chance for new writers to enhance their understanding of writing styles and grammar, while experienced writers can identify and address their ‘writer tics’. My feedback on your story and characters will also provide insights into how your narrative is perceived by readers.
Manuscript Evaluation
Manuscript Evaluation is a crucial step in transforming a draft into a published work. I will provide a detailed critique that identifies your manuscript’s strengths and any areas needing improvement in essential elements like plot, character arcs, pace, and dialogue.
Full Developmental Edit
A more in-depth analysis of your manuscript. I will break down your global story and then each scene into a spreadsheet before providing constructive feedback and suggest targeted improvements. This detailed assessment will help strengthen the narrative structure, ultimately increasing your chances of securing traditional publication.

“It was really great working with you on the editing process Wendy. You made a wonderful job of getting my ‘error riddled’ manuscript into good shape. The publishing process is moving forwards quite quickly, and the publisher has mentioned that the edited manuscript was very well formatted. Thank you so much!”

“Wendy did an amazing job with this project. I needed some in depth feedback on a tight deadline and she delivered more than I expected. She beat the deadline, was great in her communication and her professional feedback helped me turn the story into the best version of itself. Wendy definitely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.”
