Keeping Promises
Jason and Kamry met in the second grade. They were best friends who did everything together – it was inevitable that they would fall in love. And in any other lifetime, they probably would have ended up together – but that’s not how their story went – they didn’t get the “happily ever after” they thought they deserved.
At least, they didn’t the first time around.
It’s been five years since they’ve laid eyes on each other and the feelings that time should have erased are still raging strong for both of them – but they’re not kids anymore. Experience and caution have replaced recklessness and naivety. They aren’t the people they once were – but they are still far from strangers – and Jason wants nothing more than to keep the promise they made to each other as kids. Kamry is hesitant though because she knows the truth – some promises are just too hard to keep.

Editing Services
Written in Melanin offers a variety of services to help authors polish their works and make them available for publishing. All services are described and listed below. Sample edits are provided upon request.
Service pricing is based on the page count of the project and is defined by the following formatting:
8.5×11 paper
1″ margins on all sides
0.5″ first-line indent for each paragraph
12 point, Times New Roman font
Double spaced
The turnaround time for projects will be determined based on the length of the project and the services needed, but a minimum of 2 weeks is required for each project.
Copy and Line Editing is the correction of spelling errors, inconsistencies, grammar, usage, and omissions. It checks for clarity of language, weak plot points, and anything that would stop the reader’s momentum.
Developmental editing includes copy and line editing, and also checks for pacing, plot holes, character development, unnecessary scenes, dialogue, transitions and engagement of the reader. This service comes with suggestions on how to strengthen the work overall.
