Sara Your Editor
Honest & In-Depth
Developmental Editing for Writers
Let's Strengthen Your Story Together
I offer developmental editing for writers who want honest, in-depth feedback to strengthen their stories.
My focus is on the big-picture elements that make or break a manuscript—structure, pacing, character arcs, worldbuilding, and thematic cohesion. Whether you're drafting your first novel or refining your latest project, I’ll work with you to enhance your narrative flow while respecting your voice and creative vision.
Beta Reading $40
Do you have a finished draft of a manuscript or script and need feedback? Beta Reading is for you! Gain insight into how your target audience might respond. Beta reading is NOT editing, the intention is to get initial reactions. What stood out? Did anything go unnoticed? Is anything confusing?
What you get: a reader's letter (usually 1-2 pages but can vary) with my initial thoughts on plot, characters, pacing, and theme.
Word limit: 120,000
Turnaround Time: Up to 2 - 4 weeks
