Fiction and Non-Fiction Editing.
Editing through the lenses of narrative creativity and appealing communication.
Fiction and non-fiction are difficult genres to pin down — they include countless topics, specialties and writing styles. It can be daunting to find an editor who knows your specific field, let alone one who has the right experience and tools to edit your work into a publishable product. This is where Elemental Editing has an advantage.
Trust an editing process geared for simplicity and appeal.
Rather than focusing on countless specialisms, I edit according to the wonderfully symmetrical eight cores of copyediting and eight elements of fiction and non-fiction editing.
This means that whether you’ve written about fantasy, history or a person’s life — or something instructional, literary or humorous — I will use these elemental cores to recraft your writing so that it is grammatical, narratively creative and appealing.
Rely on editing tailored for fiction and non-fiction elements.
Choose the Copyediting Service or Copyediting Plus Service for a thorough language workup, or the Structural Editing Service for an all-around edit that delves into the eight elements of fiction and non-fiction editing.
