Developmental Editing

Have you written a rough draft of a manuscript but are not sure how to continue or how to properly elaborate on it? Developmental editing might be the right solution for you!

Pricing: $150 per page

How it Works

As your developmental editor, I coach and guide you through the entire writing process, starting from the outline all the way through the completion of your manuscript. I will help with plot structure, character development, story arc, flow, marketability, and readability, as well as grammar, punctuation, syntax, word choice, and more. You do the writing, but I offer rewriting as well on the paragraph-level and comments left on margin of the page to help guide you through the revisions.

Benefits of Developmental Editing

You will gain insightful knowledge on the process of writing a book, as well as important lessons on creative writing and nonfiction writing. You will then have a manuscript that meets industry standards, follows latest writing and publishing trends, and is polished following the rules and guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition.

Timeline

Between three and eight months. It mostly depends on your availability as I work around your schedule.
