Manuscript Critique

Not ready for a full edit? A manuscript critique is the perfect starting point. It delivers a professional, story-level overview of your novel with tailored insights and revision ideas to take your manuscript to the next level.

Developmental Edit

Think of developmental editing as story-level coaching. It digs into the foundation of your novel--plot, structure, characters, and themes--and provides tailored guidance to help transform your draft into a powerful, reader-ready manuscript.

Line Edit

A line edit helps your voice shine. It's a close, sentence-level edit that smooths out awkward phrasing, improves clarity and pacing, and strengthens the overall impact of your prose while preserving your unique style.

Genre Specialties

While I edit books across a wide range of genres, I specialize in literary and upmarket fiction, mystery/suspense/thriller, and memoir—genres that I know well and really love.

That being said, no matter the genre, I always make it a priority to be familiar with its conventions and audience expectations so I can provide the most informed, effective feedback possible.

Suzanne has that unique editorial gift of being able to guide both the big picture vision of my writing as well as all the nuance and detail-work necessary to bring my story to completion. She's professional, talented, and exceedingly kind! I can't imagine working with anyone else!
