Developmental Editing

I will look at your story on a big picture level. For non-fiction, I evaluate your piece's content and structure. For fiction, I provide feedback on plot, characters, pacing, dialogue, and consistency.

Copy Editing

During a copy edit, I check your writing for the correctness of sentence structure, consistency, tone, and readability as well as grammar, spelling, punctuation and typos.

Proofreading

I will check your completed document for basic mechanical correctness of the English language: grammar, spelling, punctuation, typos and consistency.

Story Coaching

As your story coach, I will provide advice on storytelling and publishing, consistent accountability, suggestions on how to overcome writer's block, and be your sounding board to help you complete your writing project.

Editorial Assessment

I will write a report on your characters, plot, themes, readability and the marketability of your book. I will evaluate your story's strengths and weaknesses, and provide a revision plan.

Ghostwriting

I will write under your name and in your voice, with credit to the ghostwriter being negotiable. Ghostwriting may involve extensive interviewing.

What My Clients Say

Brian Lam, Pastor and PhD Student

I am thrilled to recommend Isabella Wu for any copyediting or editorial work. Isabella was the copyeditor for my PhD dissertation on grammar and formats, and her contributions were truly instrumental in the success of my work.
Isabella possesses an exceptional eye for detail and is remarkably thorough, consistently delivering high precision in her editing. She is highly responsive and efficient, ensuring all my queries are addressed promptly and thoroughly. Her impressive knowledge of grammar and formatting allows her to enhance the clarity and coherence of even the most complex content.
What truly sets Isabella apart is her eagerness to learn and adapt to specific needs. She approaches every task enthusiastically and is firmly committed to excellence, making her a pleasure to work with. I am confident that Isabella will bring the same dedication, skill, and professionalism to any future role.
If you seek a knowledgeable and meticulous copyeditor who can elevate your work, I wholeheartedly recommend Isabella Wu. She would be a fantastic asset.

"Fantastic thesis! This is a very accomplished work. I spent a lot of time absorbed in the story itself, which has a good sense of pacing and narrative movement. Isabella has a fine, fine sense of how to balance story matter and story propulsion. she gives beautiful descriptions when it's warranted. The other thing I love is how she knows how to create interest and build tension and curiosity for her reader. This is such a gift related to her native talents and instincts. There's a shapeliness to her stories that I really admire too—by this I mean they feel well-tuned, well-structured architecturally, with a direction and a change and that wonderful "inevitable yet surprising" feeling at the end. I loved this work! A genuine pleasure to read."
