Editing & Appraisals
What's the difference between an edit and an appraisal?
Is my manuscript ready for editing?
Isn't editing just spelling and grammar?
You're finished your first draft and definitely need to celebrate, but there's still a way to go.
Appraisals and edits are where the magic happens:
Initial appraisal (the feedback)
Structural edit (the ‘big picture’)
Copy/Line edits (the grammar)
Proofread (the bling)
Watch the short video below to find out about what editing involves, how to know when your manuscript needs editing and the process Kellie follows.
Re-writing and cooperative writing
Help! I'm stuck.
I can't look at this anymore!
I feel like I don't know what I'm doing!
If that is you, ask me about:
re-writing services (I do)
cooperative writing services (we do)
writing courses (you do)

Publication mentoring
Is my manuscript ready for publishing?
