Developmental Editing

A developmental editor looks at your story on a big picture level. It evaluates and gives feedback on your piece's content and structure. A developmental edit includes an outline of your piece.

Proofreading

A proofreader checks your completed document for basic mechanical correctness of the English language: grammar, spelling, punctuation, typos and consistency.

​

Ghostwriting

A ghostwriter writes a document under your name and in your voice, with credit to the ghostwriter being negotiable. Ghostwriting may involve extensive interviewing. 

Copy Editing

A copy editor checks your writing for the correctness of structure, consistency, tone, and readability as well as the basic edits of grammar, spelling, punctuation and typos.

​

Editorial Assessment

A editorial assessment checks for character motivations, a sound plot, tension, engaging themes, readability and marketability. It evaluates your story's strengths and weaknesses, and provides a revision plan. 

Story Coaching

A story coach provides consistent accountability, a sounding board, suggestions on how to overcome writer's block and advice on storytelling and publishing to help you complete your writing project.

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."
