Emma Dunn

Freelance Developmental Editor

Hi there authors! My job is to help you successfully bring your vision to life by giving feedback and suggestions to help identity and fix story issues:

This is not copyediting (grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc), that's best after revisions are complete. But I will point out repetition, word choice, and basic clarity issues as I see them

About Me

I'm currently pursuing an Entertainment Design BFA, aspiring to create webcomics and graphic novels. I also dabble in short stories, poetry, creative essays, and a bit of playwriting. I studied literature analysis and folklore, and completed a creative writing minor. In my classes and personal writing groups I've come to love workshopping, problem solving, and encouraging and refining ideas.I'm fairly new to the editing scene (1 year experience), which is reflected in my lower rates and flexible process, ready to consult and adapt to your needs. I'm excited to get to know you and your story, and see how I can help it along!

Services

ALPHA READ ($0.012/word)
If your book is close to ready but could use an objective outside perspective to give an idea of how readers will experience your story. I provide: reaction comments, editorial letter about strengths, weaknesses, and answers to questions

DEEP DIVE ($0.02/word)
If your book may need a lot of reworking before it's ready to submit to publishers. This is a full collaborative effort to help realize your story's full potential.
I provide: reaction and suggestion comments, editorial note after each chapter, final editorial letter, follow up emails/meetings to clarify and brainstorm changes

Prices vary by manuscript. A 10-page sample is required for an exact quote, which comes with a free sample edit so you can also get a taste of my style!
