    Developmental Editing

    Can’t tell if your story ‘works’ or not?

    We’ve got you covered!

    With developmental editing, we’ll focus on ‘big picture’ things like story, plot, character development, worldbuilding issues, point of view, and themes.

    We’ll note consistent or repeated “quirks” of your writing style to help you lean into your strengths and cut down your weaknesses.

    While developmental editing works best on full manuscripts, you can send us a section of your manuscript to find how well it’s working.

    All pages must be submitted as Word documents. The formatting should conform with industry standards. The pages must be double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman.

    Ask us to work on your whole manuscript or send us only a portion you believe needs particular attention.
