Deep-Dive Developmental Editing

This service is my most comprehensive and popular option. I provide thoughtful, in-line feedback at both the scene and paragraph level using Word’s Track Changes and comments. You’ll also receive light line edits that illustrate ways to sharpen your sentences and reconsider things like structure and diction. An in-depth editorial letter addresses the major components of your story, including a scrub of major fictional elements such as narrative structure, character development, and thematic cohesiveness. Pricing is based on word count.

Developmental Overview

My most economical service for its balance between analytical depth and price! This option provides a thorough, wide-ranging editorial report that explores all of the core elements of your story. It does not include comments within the manuscript, making it ideal for writers who want a clear, big-picture understanding of their novel without diving into scene-level notes just yet. It’s perfect if you’re looking for meaningful guidance on the strengths and opportunities in your work while staying focused on the overarching structure, character arcs, and narrative flow. Pricing is based on word count.

Selective Developmental Review

This service includes a careful read-through of your manuscript and a concise report highlighting the areas that may need the most attention or refinement. Rather than covering every aspect of story craft, the feedback zeroes in on the issues that stand out most for this particular project.The selective review is a great fit for authors who want a general sense of how their manuscript is landing before beginning revisions, or for those looking to smooth out final developmental concerns before moving toward publication. Many self-published writers find this option especially valuable. Pricing is based on word count.
