Senior Editor
Hi, I’m Mekhala, your senior fiction editor for all things dark romance.
I bring years of experience and expertise to help your novel stand out in a crowded market. I’m dedicated to bringing your vision to life with passion and precision.
I’ll work through your narrative and dialogue, checking for flow, clarity, and consistency. So you don’t have to.
Developmental Editor
Hey, I’m Jessica, I look at big-picture issues in your manuscript. As a seasoned developmental editor, I'll check your story for structure and highlight any plot holes and inconsistencies.
Unlike Mekhala and Nicole, I don't make changes to your manuscript. However, I do give suggestions and detail what works and what you could change to improve your manuscript to keep your readers satisfied and happy.
Editor

Getting your work on the page is hard enough, let me focus on the other stuff.

At our editing sanctuary, line and copy editing trail closely behind the grim joy of content editing.
This is where we sculpt those sentences into sinister perfection.
Copy editing handles the arcane mechanics—spelling, grammar, and punctuation—conjuring the most reader-friendly manuscript by banishing errors and inconsistencies.
Line editing, our dark art within copy editing, delves into the shadows of style. It's a ritualistic process, crafting your story with a sinister finesse and an eerie allure.
In this dark realm, we address:
Subject/verb sacrifices ... I mean agreements
Hexing spelling and word usage
Conjuring proper pronoun references/agreements
Mastering the dark arts of sentence structures
Perfecting occult punctuation
Enforcing consistency in the twisted plot, eerie character details, and shadowy scenes
Line and copy editing begins after your final draft emerges from the shadows, following developmental editing.
Proofreading is the sharp-eyed sentinel of editing—a meticulous search in the shadows for both substantial and minor errors that slipped past initial edits. Despite its brevity, it's pivotal in preparing creative work for the public eye.
When your manuscript enters proofreading, it's the final draft, meticulously crafted and effortlessly navigable. While other editing stages also hunt errors, they primarily ensure the story weaves together seamlessly.
Here's what we dig up during proofreading:
Typographical glitches
Silent spelling and punctuation slips
Page number jinxes and layout quirks
Proofreading starts after all other editing stages conclude. It's the ultimate ritual before your scrutiny.
