Developmental Editing
Developmental Editing is the big picture edit. We’re not digging into the nuts and bolts. We’re rooting through the factory, assessing its needs, streamlining the flow and putting it together better than before. Essentially, we’ll pinpoint problem areas in your book, and help you fix them.
To break it down, this is what we address:
the vision of your novel
the chapter by chapter structure of your novel
the effectiveness of your character arc(s)
gaps in your plot and character development
overall plot and scene by scene pacing
sloppy wording and paragraphs
overused words and phrases
and so much more
Many writers are unsure whether or not they need a Developmental Edit before they have their book looked at by a Copy Editor (punctuation, grammar, etc). If this sounds like you, we highly suggest you visit our Book Assessment page so we can provide you cost-effective direction and potentially save you hundreds of dollars on editing you didn’t need.
If this is not what you require, we also offer:
