Dylan Jones Gosselin – Editor

Detailed to the point of obsession. I love a good challenge, so the more complicated the better. Let's make sense of your chaos together.

Overview

Hello!

I'm an award-winning editor who's been working in this industry for more than a decade. I'm a lecturer, creative writer, and author. At this point, I've edited pretty much any genre you can imagine. If you're looking at this profile because you're an author looking for services, I offer appraisals, mentorship, copy editing, developmental editing, proofreading and more.

Writing is difficult. It's a craft that takes years to experience for some and only weeks for others to master. I'm an expert at identifying flaws in tone, characters and plot. I've been reading since I was a kid, which also means I know what your audience is looking for. I'm a member of several book clubs. When possible, I can even circulate your manuscript within them.

It's scary trying to find someone who can perfect your work. When I was teaching, I used to tell my students, "You better write about something you love because you'll read through it a few dozen times before it even goes to publishing."

My combination of professional and personal experience, along with my absolute adoration of literature, make me the perfect fit for this line of work. I'm a firm believer that everyone should have access to editing services. As such, you won't find unrealistic prices or quotes when working with me. I'm reasonable in timeline and budget. I'll always communicate with you to help ensure that you're getting the best.

With all of this being said, I hope we get to work together!

Don't be afraid to reach out with any questions.

All the best,
Dylan.

TLDR; I'm a brand new author. I thought things started out good, then terrible communication, missed deadlines, and broken promises resulted in a horrible experience and left me feeling abandoned. I chose Dylan for multiple reasons. His reviews at the time were good, his responses for the brief were fairly quick and friendly, and his offer was within my budget. He also shared a small personal ...

Dylan was eager to collaborate and helpful laying out the overall process and offered a great price for copy and developmental editing. However, communication throughout the collaboration was very sporadic. Multiple reach outs to inquire about progress resulted in limited reply or missed deadlines. The final review was helpful, but I would have liked more feedback in places for the developmenta...

For most things, I loved hiring Dylan to edit my book. Initially, he was amazing at keeping in touch and even offered to accelerate the deadline, but it went downhill. There isn't much I can say that doesn't echo what other reviews already said, but if there had been a different level of responsiveness, I would give him 5 stars. The quality of his work is great, but it was a nightmare trying to...

The assessment I received was well done and pointed out items which were very helpful. Unfortunately, it was difficult to communicate, and at times I waited weeks for a response. In the end, I didn't get any follow-up from the original assessment, which negated some of the usefulness of the assessment.
