Get started

Developmental Editing

Developmental editing focuses on the structure and content of your writing.

As a freelance fiction editor, I offer developmental editing services to help you refine and strengthen the overall structure, organization, and clarity of your content.
This service includes feedback on plot development, character arcs, pacing, and overall story coherence. I work closely with you to ensure that your message is effectively communicated and resonates with your target audience.

Line Editing

Line editing involves a detailed review of your writing at the sentence and paragraph level.

As a freelance fiction editor, I provide line editing services to enhance the flow, style, and readability of your content.
This service includes refining language choices, improving sentence structure, and ensuring consistency in tone and voice throughout your writing. I focus on polishing your prose to create a compelling and engaging narrative that captivates your readers.

Proofreading

Proofreading is a meticulous review of your writing to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting.

As a freelance fiction editor, I offer proofreading services to ensure that your content is error-free and polished to perfection.
This service involves checking for typos, missing words, and adherence to style guidelines. I pay attention to detail to deliver a final product that is professional, polished, and ready for publication.

"Whether you are pursuing traditional publishing or self-publishing, a great editor is invaluable. It can be a daunting task to find one with the skill set to developmentally edit, line edit, and proofread, while also being affordable. To say Isabella at Totally Fictional is talented is an understatement. Her constructive criticism helped refine the story to the point that it was submission ready. Isabella is a consummate professional. I’m impressed by her exceptional communication skills, but even more importantly, how thorough, timely, and insightful her work is. If you’re looking for an editor who will polish your work and give you the same 'ready to submit' confidence she gave me, I highly recommend working with her."

"I’ve really enjoyed working with Isabella! She did a developmental edit for my Historical Christian Romance novel. She was great to work with and I’m very happy with the work I've received from her. She communicated well, was professional, gave me updates, and she was very kind throughout the entire process. Her suggestions and comments really made sense and they were so helpful to me. She understood my story and my characters so well! She’s a very knowledgeable editor, I feel like I can trust her suggestions. She delivered everything that she had promised! I’m really glad that I trusted her with my story. From her suggestions, I feel like I have a clear path into the next phase of editing my story. I have recommended her to my writer friends! I would definitely hire Isabella again."
