Odalis (dalisandbooks) | 19 comments 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.

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.

Line editing gets down to the sentence level. This normally comes after any major structural edits. Line editing makes sure your story reads smoothly 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.

I will only be accepting ONE booking for August. Please, submit your request on my site https://dalisandbooks.wixsite.com/mysite

Hello Odalis! Just a quick heads-up, this thread is for paid services only. Since you're offering free editing in exchange for a review, please move your post to the Free Services section instead.

Would you mind removing this post from here and reposting it in the correct section? That way, everything stays organized and members looking for specific types of support can find it more easily.

Thanks!
