Congratulations on completing your book!

Whether it’s your first book or your latest, whether you plan to submit to a traditional publisher or self-publish, having your book edited professionally is a great first step after you’ve polished it on your own. It’s also a good investment in your future as a writer.

You’ve poured your heart and soul into your story and characters, and now I can offer editorial guidance and constructive advice that will fine-tune your manuscript. We’ll fill in the plot holes, give dimension to the characters, and make your words sing. I will offer suggestions on word usage and sentence structure as well as plot, characterization, themes, dialogue and pacing. All of these suggestions will be yours to use, adapt, or discard as you see fit.

My comments will be encouraging and directed toward making your story the best it can be because I want your book to be successful. I've edited hundreds of books, and though most have been romances, I'm happy to edit any genre.

To test the waters, send me 500 words of your manuscript, and I'll edit them for free. All of my suggestions will be marked with the tracking option in Word. I will then return the pages to you to review, and you can decide if we'll make a good team. If you'd like me to edit your manuscript, send me an email with the word count of your manuscript, and I will quote a reasonable rate and a time frame to complete the work.

If you're looking for a top book editor at a reasonable price, email me at dgovaere@gmail.com.

I accept payment through PayPal. Half of the payment will be due when I accept the manuscript, the other half when it is completed. If you have questions or would like a quote for your manuscript, please contact me.

I hope to hear from you soon.
