Working with Victoria on my manuscript’s developmental edit was a lovely experience. She was kind in addressing any problems in my writing . She helped with clear instructions on how to change my book for the better .She helped with details like character arcs , plot holes , motivation in characters , and even descriptions to help the reader feel immersed in my story. It was an overall encouraging and positive experience. I would recommend any new author ( like myself ) to work with her !

Wow, it was absolutely incredible. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and the way she took the time to thoroughly read my story. As my first book baby, I was truly terrified to share it with others, but her feedback was not only amazing but also very thorough and insightful.

I am so appreciative of the time, care, and effort you gave to my novel. Your feedback was amazing and considerate. You really showed that you understood the novel's intention of exploring a marriage, it's ups and downs, and that pivotal moment when two people are on the cusp of making monumental decisions about their future. I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and the confidence to tackle this piece to make it even better. You gave my novel such a careful read and really highlighted the potential hurdles that may have been causing some of the rejections I have received. Your careful notes were so kind and encouraging and has really made me enthusiastic to re-edit this piece and try and kick it back out into the world.

I so appreciate your voice as an editor and the way you critique with such a genuinely positive slant, I can tell you won’t let any authors feel totally crushed by critiques or suggested changes but encourage and support the creativity and make the author feel more confident in their abilities to make a scene stronger or make a character arc more involved. I didn’t know what to expect but I certainly expected more harsh criticism and was so delighted by the encouraging way you critique.

Wonderful! I've had beta readers in the past but your feedback really pushed on some of the scenes to develop more while also helping me streamline things.
Hey there-
I know you put your heart & soul into your draft but you’re wondering… what comes next?
Good news the revision process doesn’t have to be complicated
📝 You’ve done some self-editing, maybe had some beta readers but doubts keep creeping in. Is it good enough?
📝 The revision process feels overwhelming and you have no idea what’s working or what needs to be changed.
📝 You love your characters and want readers to connect with them just as deeply.
📝 You know your story matters, and you want to make sure it shines the way you imagined.
📝 You have big dreams for your book, but figuring out the next steps feels daunting.
Take a deep breath, you don’t have to do this alone.
Developmental editing is what takes your novel from a draft to a polished manuscript.
Stronger Story Structure: Are you worried your inciting incident happens too early or too late? Developmental editing helps refine pacing, tension, and overall flow.
Deeper Character Development: Readers fall in love with characters who are messy and imperfect. A developmental edit makes sure motivations, arcs, and relationships are compelling and consistent.(That goes for your side characters too.)
Clarity & Focus: Your novel should deliver the story you intended to tell. A developmental edit highlights plot holes, inconsistencies, and confusing subplots.
Enhanced Emotional Impact: You want your readers to feel something. Developmental editing helps explore way to deepen the emotional connection of your story or characters.
