What is Developmental Editing?
Developmental editing is a comprehensive editing process focused on the structure, content, and overall flow of your manuscript. It goes beyond surface-level grammar and spelling corrections to delve into the core elements of your writing.
This type of editing is for authors who want to refine their narrative, strengthen their plot, deepen character development, and ensure that their message is clear and compelling.
I provide feedback on big-picture issues, such as pacing, theme, consistency, and readability, working collaboratively with you to shape your manuscript into its best possible form. Ultimately, I will help you transform a rough draft into a polished, engaging, and market-ready piece.
