Narrative Manuscript Editing

Would you like some feedback on your novel, novella, or short story? Perhaps you’d like a developmental, “global” edit that addresses narrative elements like characterization, point of view, scene versus summary balance, plot, and pacing. This is a Basic Manuscript Edit.

Perhaps in addition to a global edit, you’d like a “local” edit, which addresses line-by-line issues like sentence construction and variety, active versus passive vice, “wordiness,” and other grammar/mechanical issues. An Advanced Manuscript Edit addresses “global” and “local” issues.

Jasmine is an excellent writing instructor, and students were extremely pleased with their results after working with her. In my opinion, the most telling evidence of her ability was the fact that students were so motivated to work with her, they would adjust their schedules and priorities in order to meet with her for instruction. Her reputation was such that having her on staff was a recruiting tool for the Student Support Service program. Word-of-mouth of her excellence in instruction among the college student body helped the program grow and was instrumental in the establishment of the program. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a college level writing tutor.
