Beta reading--a read through with comments, questions, curiosities, a few pointers

Manuscript evaluation--a thorough read through of my manuscript, feedback on what is working and what is not (yet!), and a plan for change

Developmental editing--revamping structure, organization, theme, and anything else needed to prepare the book for publication

Line/Copy/Proof editing--spelling, punctuation, grammar, layout

A writing coach
