My name is Breana Bowles. I have always been an avid reader. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, and sci-fi. I knew that I wanted to edit books since I was in high school. I have always dreamed of helping authors in their publishing process.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a minor in Technical Communication from the University of Central Florida. I took courses in editing and publishing, short fiction, creative writing, and poetry.
After college, I took a course to get my certificate in developmental editing where I learned about manuscript evaluations and editorial reports.
I have gained some experience on Fiverr and Upwork, but I would love to gain more.
My mission is to give authors helpful, useful feedback through my editorial services, so that they can take a step closer to making their dreams of publishing their novels come true.

Fantasy, romance, and sci-fi. I also do subgenres within these genres like paranormal, dystopian, etc. For short stories and synopsis critiques, I will read any genre. Also, for poetry, I will read any subject.
I prefer to read adult and new adult, but I also read YA and children's or middle-grade novels.
Grammar and punctuation are not my focus. I am NOT a proofreader or copy editor. If I see a mistake, I may comment on it, but that is not where my strengths lie.
For beta reading, I will provide a reader report on every aspect. If the client wants, I can also make comments within the document. For developmental editing books and the first chapter, I'll provide an editorial letter about the developmental aspects along with comments in the document. For a manuscript critique, I will provide an editorial assessment on strengths and weaknesses. For book critiques for the synopsis or description, I will provide feedback and suggestions on flow and sentence structure in a separate document. All projects will be written in a separate document.
