INKarakter – Editorial Services with Heart for Authors

Congratulations! You wrote a book.

That’s no small feat.

But now, Impostor Syndrome is rearing its ugly head, and that pesky inner critic is whispering, “What if your plot twists fall flat? What if your characters feel like cardboard cutout figures? What if your manuscript is riddled with typos and grammar goofs?”

Fear overshadows your initial happiness at finishing your story. You even start wondering if all that hard work—those late nights and endless rewrites—was worth it. Maybe it’s easier to give up on your dreams of being an author.

But don’t!

Imagine This: Your Polished Manuscript in Print

Close your eyes and picture yourself holding your book in your hands.

Your words flow in a harmonious rhythm, and your characters leap off the pages. Your story draws the reader in so completely they can’t possibly put the book down. Whether it’s destined for a bestseller list or to touch just a handful of readers deeply, it’s yours—a work you’re proud to call your own.

That dream is closer than you think.

How INKarakter Can Help

Your story deserves the best. As a passionate editor, I specialise in helping authors of clean fantasy, mythological retellings, and literary speculative fiction polish their work to a professional level.

Here’s what I can do for you:

Eradicate errors: Typos, grammar glitches, and punctuation problems—they won’t stand a chance.

Polish your prose: Awkward phrasing? Wordy sentences? I’ll help smooth it all out.

Deepen your story’s flow and voice: From point-of-view consistency to rhythm and clarity, your manuscript will shine.

Provide sensitivity feedback: Together with my team, I offer thoughtful guidance on how to handle mental health, disability, LGBTQI+, neurodiversity, and other sensitive topics in your narrative. All informed by lived experience.

With my sharp eye for detail and attuned ear for language, I’ll help you make your story sing. And if you’re on a budget, I will happily set up a payment plan that fits your situation.

Inkarakter provided sensitivity reading for my transgender character in my book, Dissonance. They read the necessary chapters and provided valuable insight and suggestions that I implemented. I really wanted my book to represent a trans man authentically and respectfully, and Inkarakter made that a reality.
I highly recommend sensitivity reading, and fully intend to use this service again!
