Writing is incredibly personal and sharing it, especially for the first time, can be daunting. My feedback is constructive and respectful, developing trust to yield the best possible results from your work. I maintain confidentiality throughout all stages of editing.
Manuscript appraisal
Manuscript appraisal is a good starting point if you want someone to read your work and provide unbiased feedback. This can be especially useful if you’re a newer writer or testing a new genre or style.
Writing and story advice
If you’re looking for general advice, you can submit a document, and I’ll provide feedback on your writing and ways to improve it, offer story craft advice or both.
Structural editing
Structural editing is the first step in the editing process and addresses big picture concerns such as theme, organisation, plot, pace, characterisation, dialogue and style.
Copyediting
Copyediting is the second phase in the editing process and focuses on fine-tuning.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage of editing and takes place once your manuscript has been converted into a design file, reflecting the final product to be published.
What our clients say
Working with Liss at Voss Editing has been one of the most impactful things I’ve done to move my writing forward. Her suggestions are respectful, insightful and detailed. Not only does Liss give exceptional notes, the reasons behind those notes are explained, educating the author and ultimately cutting down on the number of drafts. No matter your writing goals, I highly recommend her services.
Liss’s help was instrumental in the success of getting my first novel published. She has a knack for understanding the vision behind your story and her suggestions help elevate the writing without changing your voice. Ten out of ten, I would recommend her services.
Liss has a great eye for detail and really helped bring my work to the next level. Her fast communication, turnaround, and willingness to answer questions made her a delight to work with. I’m happy to say my work turned into something I was very proud of thanks to all her help. I didn’t even know how polished it could be until she worked on it with me and got it publish-ready. Highly recommend her as an editor.
