Ask yourself these three questions, and find out!

Do you have a finished draft? If you’re happy with your novel on a story-level, then a line edit is right for you! This hands-on, sentence-level edit builds upon your novel’s narrative foundation by enhancing the overall quality of your prose.

Do you want to boost your novel’s readability? A line edit not only significantly improves your story’s flow and readability but also amplifies your unique authorial voice, helping your story hook readers from the very first page. If you want your writing to be clear, engaging, and memorable, a line edit is right for you!

Are you preparing to publish? No matter if you’re aiming to self-publish, land an agent, or submit to a publishing house, a line edit increases your novel’s chances of making it out of the slush pile (or the TBR list) by working to ensure your writing feels polished and professional from start to finish. If you’re planning on sending your novel out into the world, a line edit is right for you!

If you found yourself nodding along to any of these questions, then a line edit might be just what you need!

Can AI replace a dev. or line editor? Every now and then, someone asks me if I’m afraid AI will take my job. But my answer to the question “Can AI replace a developmental or line editor?” is always no. Why? Because developmental and line edits require judgement calls. In both cases, good editing isn’t a matter of applying “the rules” or forcing a text to comply with a pre-established pattern, which is all AI can really do. Instead, it’s about balancing convention with creativity: knowing when to follow “the rules,” when to break them, and when to invent new ones tailored to an author’s unique storytelling style. Understanding how to strike that balance—how to make those calls—requires an educated literary and aesthetic sensibility. It requires a human. A professional one. So no, I’m not afraid. And you shouldn’t be either. AI can’t do what we do. Keep writing. Keep dreaming. Keep experimenting. Push those boundaries. Write your wild and wicked tales. I’ll be here when you’re done.

I have to rave about @dlbookediting's work!

I sent her over a copy of my upcoming book, Pride Before a Fall, for a final once-over before the ARC release. Dominique was incredibly thorough, even taking the time to double back and ensure that her comments were consistent. She even went ahead and read the first book, 9 Years Yearning, without prompting so that she was fully caught up.

What I especially appreciated about Dominique's comments was her ability to offer solutions that strengthen my voice rather than change it.

Her suggestions considered both my narrative vision and readers' needs. As writers, it's so easy for us to get caught up in what we want our text to look like without thinking of our readers, but Dominique seamlessly bridged the gap between my intention and an audience's experience.

I loved her reactions to the writing, as this is so helpful for knowing what potential readers may find intriguing. These small comments can be quite the ego boost, and I was glad that she sprinkled them in with her thoughtful critique.

She also caught inconsistencies that I hadn't even considered, explaining in depth while they may throw readers off without dictating what I could do. This is just one example of her methodical approach:

At times, I can get a bit too ornate and experimental, but Dominique gently brought me back down to earth, ensuring that I didn't leave my readers confused.

From her comments, I could tell that she had thoroughly pondered every single word and its total impact on the text. It's rare to find an editor with such a keen eye and a true appreciation for their client's work. Her work felt much like a dedicated seamstress gently mending any tears in a tapestry, ensuring it shines just as the creator intended.

I'm deeply grateful for her help in sprucing up Pride Before a Fall right in time for its ARC release, and I strongly encourage you giving her services a try!

You can also check out Dominique at @philosophika and read pieces of her novel-in-progress over at @thesorcerersapprentice!
