Development Edits
Providing high-level feedback on the elements of your story such as plot, character development, conflict, sentence phrasing, continuity, and more.
Proofreading
Going through your manuscript with a fine-toothed comb. I’ll be searching for errors, typos, misused words, missing punctuation, stylistic changes, etc.
Beta Reads
In-line comments with reactions, questions, and comments to help you see larger issues like plot holes, mixed up names or details, and more. Also included are a few pages of more overall feedback for your manuscript as a whole that include things I liked and suggestions.
A great beta reader who I use regularly. Helpful inline comments and a report at the end that summarized the points well with suggestions and things they liked. They pointed out some inconsistencies that will really help going forward. Highly recommend!

Communication with Leslie was easy and productive. She gave good advice and made good comments. It was a pleasure to work with her. I will certainly approach her again if the situation presents itself. I recommend her services to other authors.
