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 introduced me to fiction writing in a class that covered the mechanics of a good story. She is so well-organized and clear about the components of telling, showing and creating a scene that it takes readers on a fantasy ride they can’t resist. I couldn’t resist the challenge, and I now can begin to combine the aspects of story-telling to keep my audience’s attention. After the class finished, she met with me on an individual basis to read my work and guide me in my creative endeavor. She is a gem to have for a teacher and mentor, always providing positive suggestions.
