Also known as a line edit, this will ensure that all grammar and spelling is up to standard. From the 'there, they're and their' to the 'to, two and too' and even 'than and then', I will go through the entire manuscript to ensure it is ready to go to ARC readers. This also involves ensuring that the spelling of fantastical words is consistent.

A one page document will be provided with words that are frequently used and can be replaced for variety, as well as initial thoughts on the work.

Two week turnaround.

So you've written a book! Congratulations! Now the hard part starts, making it actually resemble a book that could sit on the shelves of a major bookstore! A developmental edit will look at the overall structure of the novel. Do your characters have consistency? Does the magic system make sense? Or are there so many holes in the document that it is resembling Swiss cheese?

Major grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors will be corrected throughout the document.

A one page document will be included with any plot inconsistencies and things for the author to consider to make the overall story stronger from a readers aspect, as well as initial thoughts on the work.

Who
am I?

My passion for well-written books started when I was a terror in grade three and first learned how to read English. As the years went on, my hunger to fill my brain with literature became insatiable, to the point that my parents wouldn’t ground me from technology but would instead take away the books I had in my room.

In 2016, I was a first responder for the Fort McMurray wildfire. This drastically altered my life and set me on a path I hadn’t thought to pursue. My mental health suffered, and as a result so did my annual reading goals. In 2021, things took a turn for the better. I started reading again, I started writing my own book. This relit the passion I had forgotten about over the years.

In 2024, I finished writing my first novel. A memoir. The creative well that had previously dried up was once again tapped. Book ideas started flowing faster than I could write them down on paper. I started beta and ARC reading for other authors. Then I made the leap and offered to edit another author’s work.

I loved it immediately, and EmBr Editing was born.

Sometimes, all you need is a second set of eyes on your work, I look forward to being that for you.
