Step 1

Developmental Editing

The big picture deep dive. The structure, plot, characters, pacing, and flow are scrutinized with an additional focus on consistency and development from front to back.

Holes are for bagels and donuts, not stories—so let’s leave them in the bakery.

Step 2

Line & Copy Editing

Line editing is a stylistic polish focused on line-by-line linguistic usage and flow. Every sentence is evaluated for tone, intention, clarity, consistency, necessity, and impact. Copy editing is a mechanical polish focused on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and the reduction of filler words, filter words, adjectives, and adverbs.

Combine them to unlock your story’s true potential!

Step 3

Proofreading

The final scan before your story is printed. Catch any remaining spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors before your book hits the shelves.

Don’t skip this step; your readers will notice!

What My Authors Think

Treena's editorial review of my opening chapters was amazingly detailed. Her suggestions were backed up by examples, and she also provided general information about both strengths and weaknesses. I found her critiques easy to implement and in keeping with the tone of my book. The feedback ...

Treena took the polished turd I gave her and turned it into a gold bar. What she does with words is akin to what alchemists do with gold. She helped make, not only my manuscript better, but me a better writer. I couldn't recommend Treena more as an editor, or just as importantly, a person!

Treena has been an absolute delight to work with. She’s respectful, encouraging, [and] always willing to listen to the writer’s opinion and adapt to their needs. In the couple of years I’ve known her, she’s given me plenty of tools which have helped me grow as a storyteller. I’m incredibly thankful that our paths happened to cross.

I think the work you put into the edits and the level of detail in the comments is [a] testament to what I believe I'm looking for in an editor.

Her editing is extremely thorough, and she puts in a lot of extra effort explaining the reasoning behind her edits and suggestions. I thought I could edit my own work, but now I know better.

Unbelievable critiquing and editing! I was blown away by the fantastic job she did editing and critiquing my first three chapters. She's a winner! The greatest investment [I've] made in my writing.

I’ve been writing and editing for French publishers for more than ten years. When I started writing in English, both for personal and professional reasons, Treena was the first person who didn’t give up after a couple of chapters. She's also been more thorough than anyone else I've worked with before ...

I’ve been working with Treena for about two years—off and on, as I hop from project to project and inevitably seek her assistance. In all of my experience with her, I couldn’t ask for a better editor. Treena's unfailingly professional, yet warm and approachable. Her critiques are inspired, accurate, and ...

A writer is only as good as their editor’s ability to bring out the best in their work while maintaining the writer's authentic voice.For months, I'd been frazzled while trying to self-edit my T'was 2020 poem—it was almost comical. Being so close to and heavily invested in my own content was like being unable to ...

Working with Treena as both a writing coach and editor to improve the flow and readability of my fictional texts as a non-native speaker has helped me a lot. She does an excellent job of showing me where I can improve while keeping an informative and fair tone. I always received basic information on the style ...
