Lexicomancy Revisions
verb / lɛksɪkoʊˈmænsi • ɹɪˈvɪʒ.ənz /
- the art of orchestrating words from the viewpoint of an audience
- developmental editing, proofreading, and formatting a piece to perfection
- making sure your story is told the way you mean it to be through multiple rounds and degrees of editing
What you Need:
Developmental edits to your story
Perfectly (im)perfect punctuation
A creative professional who loves your story as much as you do
What I DO:
Make sure the overall structure and plot points make sense
Pick through your manuscript line by line, doing what spellcheck can’t (nuance, baby!)
Help you achieve your dreams while you write your next story
With over four years of experience in editing and copywriting, I can easily say the orchestra of revision is the most fulfilling. I love fixing commas and making sense of run-on sentences as an editor, but connecting you to your story — and your story to your intended audience — is the most fulfilling aspect of my craft. I care about the community your books foster as much as you do; connecting hearts to hearts via storytelling is what I do.
Preferred Genres
Science Fiction • Dystopian • Romance*
*Yes. All of them. FF, MM, FM, MMF, FFM, and so on… I love me a good why choose.
