Dana Boyer Editing

Clear, whole book development

“Dana was very thorough with my manuscript. She offered many suggestions to improve my story and left many line edits to strengthen my writing. With her suggestions, I'm sure my book will be amazing. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

-Nick, literary fiction

2025 stats:

Out of the 14 books I edited I had:
2 authors who were offered agent representation-
2 who were offered deals with small, traditional presses-
2 who won or were finalists for literary awards-

and several more who decided to go the self-publishing route (and who are racking up fantastic arc reviews!)

I’d love to help you write your best book.

So you've written a novel.

Now what? Does your timeline make sense? Do your characters have clear stakes to keep your readers interested? Do you use so many repetitive words that your readers are going to put the book down? What about on the tenth page when your character appeared suave and sophisticated, and then on the hundred and tenth page when they got flustered by nothing? What changed? Is he still believable?

 

These are the sorts of things I look for (plus lots more!), and I’d love to talk to you about specific things in your book. Even if you just have questions, send me a message using the contact form and I’ll get back to you!
