Let’s Perfect Your Work

Editing Services Offered

I provide developmental consultation and manuscript editing to authors who need that extra bit of help to bring their manuscript to the next level. I work on genres of science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and narrative non-fiction.

My services include helping writers build their story world, determine a character's path, or uncover a character's motivation. Starting from a story's foundation and growing it to a final structure is an enjoyable and rewarding challenge.

Substantive/content editing is also available for authors whose manuscripts have been through draft revisions and need a deeper dive to craft them into truly compelling narratives.

Client Testimonials

"Thanks for the feedback. I just finished making edits last night, and your comments, as always, definitely pushed me to take the manuscript that extra mile. Tough, but worth it!"

- Piers Platt, Author of The Janus Group Series

"Aaron Sikes is a master editor--fast, reliable, and easy on your budget. I've used him for all of my books, and I'll continue to do so. His work on Dark Space saved me the peculiar embarrassment of having an audience, but not yet knowing how to address that audience to maximum effect. Aaron's editing shaped me into a better writer."

- Jasper T Scott, Author of Dark Space: Revenge

"Thank you for such an extensive job. I've been editing all day and many of your suggestions have gone in, making this a stronger book."

- Colin F Barnes, Author of the Code Breakers Series
