Lonely Tree Publications
Personalized Narrative Nonfiction & Memoir Editing
I bring every manuscript to the highest possible standard of excellence. My commitment is to give your story the editorial attention it deserves — polished, powerful, and publication ready. While I cannot guarantee publication or sales, I can promise that your manuscript will leave my hands as strong as it can possibly be.
Big Picture Focus
Developmental Editing
This is where your book truly takes shape. I examine structure, pacing, and emotional arc to ensure your story serves the reader. I don't just identify problems — I work with you to solve them.
Structural Flow
Structural Editing
I organize your chapters so your story flows naturally forward. I examine the logical progression of ideas and themes to create a compelling journey for your audience.
Craft & Clarity
Line Editing
Line editing focuses on the craft of your writing at the sentence level. I refine clarity, flow, tone, and rhythm while protecting your unique voice, eliminating repetition and deepening impact.
Technical Precision
Copyediting
This is the technical pass. I check and correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I look for consistency in character names and timeline details to ensure professional quality.
Final Polish
Proofreading
Your final polish before the world sees your work. I catch those last lingering typos and ensuring formatting is consistent throughout the entire manuscript.
