Emmy Duddles

Editing your book with empathy and conviction

Nonfiction Writers

You have a message!

But sometimes sharing your message with clarity and conviction can feel daunting.

Do you need a partner who will walk alongside you in the process of developing your work? Or maybe you’re just concerned about the flow and structure of your sentences?

Hi! I’m Emmy, an editor with eight years of experience in the nonfiction space. Over the years, I have learned how to construct a strong message that still contains a personal touch.

As your editor, I will strive to help you understand your message better, while also developing your voice and honing your writing skills. Let’s get to work!

Services

Brainstorming Hour:

Let’s discuss the areas you’re struggling with as you write your book. Are you wrestling with how to write a better hook? Or maybe you’re having trouble deciding on an organizational structure? You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Developmental Edit:

Are you concerned with the flow of your book and the strength of your argument? I’ll diagnose what is and isn’t working in your manuscript. Comes with a diagnostic document detailing your main strengths and weaknesses.

Line/Copy Edit:

Have you edited so much that you can’t see straight? I will review your manuscript to fix awkward phrases and flow,  check continuity, and edit grammar. Comes with a personalized editor’s guide of what to look for when editing future projects.

Proofread:

When your piece has gone through numerous stages of editing and is designed, I will check your work to find any typos, missing punctuation, or grammar issues before you publish.

My Philosophy

I am dedicated to creating an excellent product, while also making sure you feel encouraged about your work and motivated to take the next steps.
