Editing

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in awhile. I've been deep in clients' manuscripts. I stopped by to share some praise I've received.

"I have found the one! Wendy Ely is a multi-talented editor who proves her worth with each suggestion she offers. Her skill is only surpassed by her professional approach to the client as well as the manuscript. I can relax and write, knowing that Wendy has my back."

~~Catherine Wolffe

"Editor, Wendy Ely:
I love Wendy Ely! She’s easy to work with, fun, and reliable! Once a MS is submitted, she gets back to you quickly! You’ll see that she’s not only worked on grammar, but has strengthened your sentences! She’s taken my sentences and made them stronger! She’s not forceful in her edits, but rather gives suggestions where they are needed!
I highly recommend Wendy as an editor!"

Need an editor?

I edit manuscripts! I have 2 spots left for April. Want one? Here is my editing information:

I started my writing and editing career in January of 2008. Since the start of my career my passion for the craft has only grown stronger in that time. Not only do I have the drive to perfect my own books but to help other busy authors as well. I have several years of freelance editing experience, have recently attended advanced grammar classes in college, and extensively study the craft of writing. I'm also an award winning, multi-published author.

I succeed when my client succeeds. Editing should be a creative and as enjoyable as possible so my goal is to provide fast, friendly, and efficient service while working with my clients. No author is the same so I can tailor your editing plan for you.

The areas of editing I cover are:

Story Structure

• The flow of the story. 
• Plot strengths, weaknesses, and inconsistencies. 
• Point of view, tone, and voice flow.
• Character development. 
• Dialogue 

Line Editing 

• Line by line editing for typos and grammatical errors. 
• Page by page revision recommendations when applicable. 
• Phone, email, or online chat time for brainstorming your manuscript.
• A second read-through to go over "problem areas" of the manuscript with no extra charge.
