Hello authors,
I am Megan Hand, the story girl.
Currently, my most popular service is a combo intense content edit/copy edit. I prefer this combo because I give a thousand percent to every story I work on, and I love getting in at the ground floor, digging up every weakness, and smoothing them over until the story is pristine. I am especially attentive to each author's/character's unique voice. I love when I can assist the author in filling out the story without disrupting the voice.
I also offer developmental editing and proofreading upon request.
* I am willing to do a 5 page sample for anyone interested! Please contact me via facebook messenger or email (meganhandwrites@gmail.com).
**At this time I do not edit erotica or any story content that is particularly dark (i.e. seduction within human trafficking, and/or repetitive or graphic sexual abuse). Rape, physical abuse, and sex scenes are fine. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Current turnover time is (2) weeks. I will book your story for a two week slot, as long as the story is under 100k. If it is over that, I will book a (3) week slot.
Testimonials
"As a bit of a control freak, handing over a manuscript never happens easily for me. But Megan's notes, suggested changes, and fine attention to detail never interfere with my voice or the story I try to tell. I look forward to handing in my manuscripts now. Megan takes extra steps to understand the work, and her attention to detail remains unsurpassed in my experience. Thank you, Megan!"

Hope, and more.
Megan graced the pages of It’s Not Over with her keen eye and insightful talent. With each red mark, comment, and/or correction, It’s Not Over went from good to amazing. Under Megan’s critique, I grew as a writer, and my skill level improved exponentially. Her comments, interpretation of character voice, and grammar were flawless. Her accessibility and ability to capture the author’s voice places her in a class all her own.
Megan doesn’t just mark up a manuscript--she nurtures it and aids in building up the writer and the story, elevating both to new heights.
While I hated how hard she pushed me, I am forever grateful for the challenge and proud of the results in the quality of my writing and story telling.
Thank you, Megan. You are the bomb-diggity!"

"I cannot compliment Megan's editing
skills enough. Not only does she work her magic on my manuscripts, but I've
learned a lot through her notes and suggestions. She's edited several of my
books, and I look forward to working with her on my future projects as well."

"Megan is an editor extraordinaire. She will take your
manuscript to a whole other level, making you dig deep and flesh out your
characters until it's polished to perfection. Seriously, I've dated a lot of
editors and am so thankful that I found Megan. I foresee a long lasting
relationship between us. Not only is she a perfectionist with the editing, but
she's sweet as pie. She'll push you when you don't think you can write anymore,
and encourage you to trek on and move forward to make your manuscript the best
it can be"
