Developmental Editing

Developmental Editing  

Whether it’s your first or twenty-first novel, writing a book is an exhilarating yet exhausting endeavor! From the initial draft to when your manuscript is ready for copyediting, you’ll experience various stages—loving it, hating it, and then loving it again. I’m here to help speed up the writing process by working alongside you to strengthen and develop your manuscript into a masterpiece.

Each developmental edit includes:

  • Voice and Tone Consistency

  • Plot and Character Analysis

  • Dialogue Flow

  • Setting and Worldbuilding

  • Section Rewriting Suggestions

  • Plotting Guidance

  • Conflict Development and Resolution

  • Tying Up Loose Ends

I accept manuscripts at all stages of development. Changes will be made directly on the document, and I’ll provide suggested transitions, chapter starters, and scene additions at your request. Manuscripts must be delivered in Word format, as all comments will be made using Track Changes for easy viewing.
