Welcome to DalisandBooks. I look forward to seeing you take your next big step towards publishing your story. Whether it be self-publishing or traditional publishing, your book deserves to put its best foot forward. You’ve already done the hard part of bringing your story to life, let DalisandBooks take the next big leap with you by providing kind and constructive feedback. By the end of the editing process we want our authors to feel motivated, with a clear understanding of the manuscript's successes and its potential.

I have a BA in Literary Studies and a minor in Creative Writing. During my college years I spent my time beta reading for fun and working on editing skills in the classroom. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a manuscript come to life.

In an effort to improve my editing skills, I am offering Line Editing and Developmental Editing Services for FREE in exchange for an honest review. My focus is on Young Adult, Romance, and Horror genres. This is for a manuscript no more than 90,000 words.

Line editing gets down the sentence level. This normally comes after any major structural edits. Line editing makes sure your story reads smooth by working out any awkward phrases, sentence structure, or unnatural dialogue. Most importantly, it ensures every word has a purpose.

With Developmental editing we can work on improving things like plot structure, characterization, and pace in the manuscript. We will look for inconsistencies and potential plot holes. This provides the manuscript with some guidance and direction.

Please reach out to dalisandbooksediting@gmail.com before the slots are filled. Make sure to include the blurb, first chapter, word count, and genre.
