We work in a variety of genres. The following is a short, but inexhaustive list of what we work with: Fiction: contemporary, magical realism, fantasy, sci-fi, gameLit RPG, horror, historical fiction, romance, thriller/suspense, comic books/graphic novels, etc. Nonfiction: History, science, memoir, autobiography, pop culture, general nonfiction, etc. TV/Film: TV pilots, short films, and feature films Video games: cutscenes, triggered dialogue, etc.

If you have just finished a novel, short film script, TV pilot script, or feature film script, you may want an editor to look at the earliest stages of the piece to spot errors in plot, issues with mood/tone, and other potential areas of frustration. It is best to obtain feedback from beta readers first and then obtain developmental editing prior to a line or copyediting phase. However, each book is different. With unfinished works, we do provide coaching and ghostwriting services to help you cross the finish line with your book.

Turnaround greatly depends on how much work has been done on the project beforehand, how long the project is in length, and what other tasks we must complete in conjunction with completing your project (reading materials, researching, etc.)
