I will go over your manuscript to ensure proper flow of sentences and paragraphs, restructuring or suggesting rewrites as needed; point out repetitive wording, anachronistic words, and incorrectly used words; make suggestions on where to rework the manuscript if the pacing is lagging or is rushing; suggest parts that could be cut out to avoid redundancy or unnecessary information; suggest where there needs to be a better transition between events in the same scene or chapter and offer suggestions for rewriting; suggest where dialogue could be incorporated or removed to improve the pacing or break monotony; point out areas where character motivation for a certain action is not convincing or sufficient; offer rewording suggestions on parts that need to be rewritten to ensure ease of reading and syntactic flow; and point out where there is head-hopping.All changes will be made using the Track Changes feature in Word. This service will be completed in a single pass. 

Turnaround time varies by project and is based on word count and the level of editing needed (light, medium, or heavy).

Gentry Davidson: The Minoan Terroir
"Claudette's feedback was thorough and insightful, offering a detailed analysis of various aspects of the story. Her attention to detail and specific suggestions demonstrate a deep engagement with the manuscript, making her critique invaluable for refining the work."
​
"Claudette provided comprehensive feedback, covering aspects such as character development, timeline consistency, and technical details. She raised pertinent questions about character motivations and the plausibility of certain plot points, which can significantly improve the story's coherence and realism. Her comments on dialogue formatting, especially for a character with a unique speech presentation, were particularly helpful. The feedback on the emotional impact of scenes, such as the reaction to violence against animals and the build-up of suspense, highlighted areas that effectively engage the reader."
