Developmental Editing

$30/hr Starting at $90

Developmental editing is a little different than copyediting. This form of editing focuses on: making sure the characters are believable and develop properly throughout the story. Overall, a developmental editor looks at the big picture of your manuscript and points out the major flaws. They do not focus on grammar and spelling errors but structural errors in your manuscript. Be prepared to have to rewrite entire sections, maybe even chapters, after I have marked up your book. I want it to be the best it can be, and this means clear and open collaboration between me and the author.
