Developmental Editing
25
The big picture editing: the focus is on structure, style, theme and content. I look for structural problems, pacing issues, plot or thematic inconsistencies, under-developed characters, stiff dialogue, missing sections, and overly large or underdeveloped sections — and make detailed suggestions for addressing these issues.
I will read and edit a short story up to 7.5K words. My preferred genres are science-fiction and fantasy, but I am willing to read almost any genre (please wait on your explicit story until our third or fourth exchange).
Training & Qualifications
I freelance edit and write short stories myself. I have edited published tabletop role playing games as well as written for several. I can be found on scribophile as well: https://www.scribophile.com/authors/laura-briskin-limehouse/
Availability & Preferences
I can answer email any time during the day, read and work on your piece in the evening, and send written feedback.
