About this Gig
Are you ready to get some professional guidance?
Hi, I'm Divyam and I am here to help make your story shine and bring your vision to life.
Developmental Editing is about enhancing your story and bringing out the strongest and most compelling version of it.
This is where I combine my intuition with structure. I take care of what your story wants to become and then guide it there by figuring out what's missing, what needs to change and where it might need more love. This editing involves looking closely at your plot, characters, structure and the essence of your book.
This gig includes :-
- 2 readthroughs of your manuscript
- In line comments with my reactions and detailed developmental feedback
- An editorial report with in-depth analysis of the storyline, the characters, and how the book made me feel
- A combination of intuitive and technical editing
- Regular check-ins
- Text and call support throughout the editing process and even afterwards if you need it
Price : $0.012 USD/word
You can choose a package or message me for a custom order and a free sample edit up to 2500 words.
Please feel free to message me for any questions you may have.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Do you use AI to edit the books?
Absolutely NOT! I have a strict anti-AI policy. I do not use AI in any part of the editing process. Neither do I edit books that are written using Generative AI.
Will my work be safe with you?
I take safety of your work very seriously. I understand the hard work you have put into writing this book and hence your work will remain completely confidential. Once I submit your review and you don't need any additional revisions, I will delete your work from my device.
What genres do you edit?
I work with all genres including Romance, Science Fiction, Literary Fiction, LGBTQ+, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Period Drama, Young Adult, New Adult, Erotica, Dark Romance, Mystery and any others you can think of.
Do you edit non-fiction?
Yes, I do edit non-fiction as well but I will need you to send me a sample of your manuscript and have a discussion for what your book is about and if I have sufficient expertise in it.
What formats of documents do you accept?
I accept a Word Document(.docx) or a Google docs link. If you are sending the link please make sure I have access to edit and comment in the document.
What format will you provide the work in?
You will get 2 word files(.docx). One will be your manuscript with all my developmental suggestions and reactions in comments. The other will be an editorial report.
Do you offer revisions?
I do offer 1 revision once you have made the suggested changes. However I do not go through your complete manuscript again. I ask you to highlight all the changes you are making and the texts you are adding, and then I go through the highlighted parts and review them.
What if I need you to go through my entire manuscript again after 1 revision?
I only offer one revision where I only go through the changes you have made(not the entire manuscript.) If you would like me to go through your entire manuscript again, you will need to book the entire service again, but we can discuss the pricing and a discount based on the scope of work.
What if my work is more than 100k words?
If your work is more than 100k words, please contact me so we can discuss the pricing and create a custom order for you.
Do you read Adult/Sexual content?
Yes, I am completely comfortable with reading and reviewing adult/sexual content and would provide you my honest opinion on it.
