Editio Publishing • Freelance

Aug 2018 - May 20201 yr 9 mos

As a Beta Reader and Developmental Editor, I work closely with authors to strengthen manuscripts from the early draft stage through revision. I provide in-depth feedback on plot structure, pacing, character development, narrative flow, world-building, and overall reader engagement. My editorial approach combines a reader's perspective with developmental analysis, helping writers identify strengths, address weaknesses, and elevate their stories to a professional standard. I have reviewed and assessed manuscripts across multiple genres, delivering comprehensive editorial reports and actionable recommendations tailored to each author's goals. By identifying plot inconsistencies, character arc issues, and structural challenges, I help authors create compelling, cohesive, and market-ready manuscripts. My focus is on fostering creative growth while ensuring each work reaches its full potential and resonates with its intended audience.

    Overall, I am pleased with the feedback. A little vague on some concerns. Knowing where they are in the story would help find those issues quickly and address them. Such as small polish: A few awkward phrases or repeated words.

    Charla was great to work with over a long stretch with many versions. The experience was enlightening. I learned a lot from her. The communication we had during that stretch was also a learning experience, as I explained my vision.
