Developmental Editing

Developmental editing is for you if you've written an outline or a first draft of your book and want to make sure you're on the right track.

As your developmental editor, I'll take a big-picture perspective and help you improve plot and pacing, ensure your characterization is consistent, and assess any stylistic or structural issues.

I'm skilled at delivering a mix of positive feedback and constructive criticism, so you'll walk away with actionable steps to improve its readiness for publication.

I can also help with book proposals and query letters when you're ready to submit your manuscript to publishers or literary agencies.

Rates start at $1,000 USD (up to 60,000 words), and include in-line comments and a chapter-by-chapter report.
