Developmental editing
Let's bring your story to life
Still need help ironing out those last plot holes in your story? Maybe you're not sure about a character's arc or if your story's structure is just quite right.
Well, I'm here to help!
Developmental editors provide an in-depth look into your manuscript and help you with pacing, POV, structure, character arcs, and more! Through developmental editing, you will get answers to questions like: am I ready to publish? Does this work fit my genre and audience?

What I do
-
Provide a detailed editor's report on your manuscript, including details on the overall story, characters and character arcs, pacing, POV, setting, resolution, target audience, any inconsistencies, and suggestions on how to fix plot holes I've noticed in the text.
-
Provide in-text comments about literary elements of the story, and make suggestions to provide clarity to readers or to point out what's working well!
-
Light proofreading.
Our collaboration doesn't end after the editor's report! I will help you brainstorm solutions, answer any questions you have about the notes, and be your cheerleader throughout the revision process.
