Developmental Editing
Nonfiction
Take a wide-eyed view of your manuscript as a whole and point-out missing content, rearrange as needed for a stronger delivery, brainstorm additional resources, and provide a self-editing guide to prepare you for the next step.
Poetry Editing
Review poems and comment suggestions for grammar, syntax, rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, imagery, or general impressions as a reader. (Unless it’s a blatant typo, I will not change your poetry and will assume everything is intentional. My goal is simply to strengthen your writing.)
Formatting
Following KDP templates, I can format your book with chapter headers, gutter margins, page numbers, and more for both print and ebook formats.
“If you are looking for a copy editor or proofreader that will comb through your writing to give you the confidence you need to publish, Kayla is the person for the job. She edited my award-winning dystopian novel, Toffy’s Divide in 2021 and I had to come back to her for my follow up sci-fi novel, Musta’s Mixtape. Her attention to detail is amazing. She creates style sheets that would make sure your writing is not only clean from a syntax and semantic point of view, but also to make sure your entire narrative is coherent. She is also very professional and quick to respond to requests, guaranteeing that you stick to your publishing schedule. Kayla LeFevre is the publishing partner that you need to get your story across the finish line. Hire her for your next book, like, right now!”
