Developmental Editing
Editorial letter + Margin Notes
Developmental editing is a big-picture edit of your book that includes a written critique and margin notes. You'll receive an editorial letter that addresses the strengths and weaknesses of your book, structure and organization, character and setting, narrative pacing, and more, plus you'll get feedback and suggestions inserted in the margins of your manuscript. You’ll also get two hours of follow-up support from your editor, to discuss the feedback and ask questions. This is an excellent choice for every writer.
If you’re on a budget or seeking a light assessment, consider a manuscript critique instead.
what we'll address:
the hook
plot and structure
length and narrative pacing
character or content development

point of view, dialogue, and description

writing mechanics
what’s included:
a full read-through of your manuscript
