I offer three types of fiction editing: Novel Feedback, Developmental Edits, or Line Edits. In Novel Feedback, I watch for such issues as: Story arc consistency Plot holes Character development World-building Narrative voice/Pacing issues Genre selection/Marketing ideasNovel Feedback is the cheapest and easiest of the edits I do.In Developmental Edits, I watch for similar issues to Novel Feedback, but dig much deeper into the story framework, adding chapter by chapter analyses as I go.Line Edits check for such issues as: Filter verbs Gaze tracking Adverb dropping Grammatical edits Word repetition/Word choiceA line edited document will explore the nuts and bolts of the writing style and use tracked changes to highlight any issues.For more information, visit my website: TamaraShoemaker.org

I have four mystery novels on the market, and am releasing my second fantasy in November 2015. Each day is a mosaic of words on the screen and staring out the window and running after my children and keeping up with the normal routine of laundry and dishes and everyday joys. I love to write just about anything, but I have a special place in my heart for fantasy novels. After thoroughly loving Tolkien and Lewis and Rowling and, and, and, I decided I wanted to add my own efforts to the market.
