Professional Developmental Editing and Book Proposal Services

Let's Write.

At Edge of August I partner with writers at all stages to help create rich and compelling books and best-in-class nonfiction proposals. I offer tailored editorial services that elevate your writing and bring your vision to life, whether you’re starting your first book or refining a manuscript, need ongoing coaching or just want the full run-down on what needs fixing. I'm here to help. 

WELCOME TO THE EDGE OF AUGUST

Edge of August provides developmental editing and book proposal writing services for new and experienced authors. Partner with Ty Love to bring your creative vision to life.

I offer tailored editorial services that elevate your writing and bring your vision to life, whether you’re starting your first book or refining a manuscript, need ongoing coaching or just want the full run-down on what needs fixing. 

I’m here to get your book that much closer to the version you’ve been dreaming of. I don’t hold back—my feedback is clear, direct, and thorough—but I also genuinely believe we can get your story closer to the 'perfect' version of it you have in your head, which means I approach every book with a positive attitude. Yes, I’ll challenge you to dig deeper and create more conscientiously, but I’ll be sure to keep the process engaging and fun, too. You’ll know exactly what to do next, and together we’ll bring your vision to life, ready to make its mark in the publishing world.

 

With over a decade of experience as a developmental editor and publishing professional I’ve had the privilege of contributing to 18 New York Times Bestsellers, two Oprah Book Club picks, and countless more books. 

So go on, grab your pen. Let's get started.

Having someone edit your book is always a little scary at first but Ty was amazing. His input was very insightful and eye-opening. It was exactly what I needed to continue perfecting my story. He was also very professional, responded quickly and was great to work with. I really recommend him! I've worked with Ty twice and I was never disappointed.

A Note on Access

I believe that access to thoughtful, professional editing should not be limited by financial means. To support writers from marginalized communities or anyone who may feel my standard rates are out of reach, I offer a sliding scale for my services. This allows us to find a rate that works for your budget while still receiving the guidance, insight, and care your work deserves. My goal is to make developmental editing, proposal writing, and author coaching accessible to as many voices as possible. Please reach out to schedule a consultation so we can discuss the best way to support your work.
