Giovanna Chinellato
To summon a thing that is not there at all, to call it by speaking its true name, that is a great mastery, not lightly used.
― Ursula K. Le Guin, "A Wizard of Earthsea"

Translation

Expand the audience of your work! If you think your story or academic work deserves to cross borders, I can help you with that. Translation occurs after your text is complete in its source language and will not undergo any more editing or revisions. I can make annotations, and we can chat about the best solutions for your story, paper, thesis, or dissertation. I can also work with your formatted book or graphic novel, so there's no need to re-design anything!

BETA READING

Beta Reading occurs around the same time as developmental editing. You must have a complete manuscript, and it should already have gone through multiple rounds of revision before reaching a beta reader.


This is not an editing service, though I will point out errors if I find them. Every beta read includes a reader report with my feedback on plot, characterization, consistency, and more.

ECOCRITICISM
An Ecocritical Reading is similar to a sensitive reading, but focusing on how animals and the environment are portrayed, considering everything from plot and scenario to Ecolinguistics and word choices.  In a world of a rising and necessary new awareness about the way we interact with animals and the environment that surrounds us, a thoughtful consideration like this can truly boost your work and, above all, have a positive impact!
