A sample manuscript evaluation providing big-picture feedback. This piece highlights my skill in delivering clear, constructive evaluations of early-stage manuscripts. I assess key elements such as narrative structure, pacing, character development, and thematic coherence. My goal is to help authors refine their story’s purpose and logic while identifying both strengths and opportunities for deeper revision.

An example of in-document edits that elevate style and clarity, with revision suggestions that maintain the author's voice. Line editing bridges the gap between raw draft and publication-ready prose. I smooth awkward phrasing, trim redundancy, and sharpen syntax—always preserving the author's unique tone and style.

Helped refine and restructure a speech for a women’s conference, offering clarity without compromising the author’s voice, values, or message.
