DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
We examine the core of your narrative—character, plot, and structure—to build a powerful and commercially viable story foundation.
What Is Developmental Editing?
Developmental editing involves a feedback cycle of deep structural work that shapes your book into its strongest form. Unlike a manuscript evaluation, this is a highly collaborative process that involves idea exchange, open dialogue, and a more comprehensive level of support. A sentiment I commonly hear in this process is that it makes the writer’s journey a less lonely and infinitely more enjoyable one.
