I will developmental edit your fantasy or sci fi manuscript
About this Gig
Is your fantasy or sci fi manuscript full of ideas, but the story still feels like something is missing?
A strong concept is only the beginning. Problems with structure, pacing, character arcs, conflict, worldbuilding, or POV can weaken an otherwise promising manuscript.
I provide professional developmental editing for fantasy and science fiction manuscripts, focusing on the elements that shape the reader's experience and make a story work.
Depending on your package, I can examine your plot and structure, character development, pacing, conflict and stakes, worldbuilding, POV, narrative flow, subplots, consistency, and overall story progression. You will receive clear, practical feedback designed to help you understand what needs attention, why it matters, and what you can do next.
Services may include:
Annotated manuscript
Detailed editorial letter
Developmental observations
Revision recommendations
Prioritized revision roadmap
This is developmental editing, not proofreading or line editing. I focus on strengthening the story before sentence level polishing.
Please contact me before ordering if your manuscript is unusually long or requires specialized support.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of your manuscript. I examine elements such as story structure, plot, character arcs, pacing, conflict, stakes, worldbuilding, POV, narrative flow, and overall reader experience, then provide practical recommendations for strengthening the story.
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing focuses on how the story works, while proofreading focuses on surface errors such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. This Gig is primarily concerned with the story's structure, development, and overall effectiveness.
Do you edit both fantasy and science fiction manuscripts?
Yes. I work with fantasy and science fiction manuscripts, including many speculative subgenres. If your manuscript combines genres or contains specialized elements, please contact me before ordering so I can confirm that the project is a good fit.
Will you edit my entire manuscript?
The amount covered depends on the package you select. Each package has a specific word limit. If your manuscript exceeds the selected word count, you can purchase additional words or contact me for a custom offer.
What will I receive after the developmental edit?
Depending on your package, you may receive an annotated manuscript, detailed editorial letter, developmental observations, practical revision recommendations, and a prioritized roadmap to help you approach your revisions.
Do you rewrite my manuscript for me?
No. Developmental editing is designed to help you strengthen your own story. I identify issues, explain why they matter, and provide actionable recommendations rather than rewriting your manuscript in my voice.
Can you work with multiple POVs?
Yes. I can assess multiple POV manuscripts for perspective consistency, character differentiation, transitions, information control, narrative balance, and whether each viewpoint contributes meaningfully to the story.
Can you review a manuscript that is part of a series?
Yes. If your manuscript belongs to a series, I can examine elements such as long-term character development, story progression, worldbuilding consistency, unresolved threads, and escalation across the series. Series Developmental Notes are available as an additional service where applicable.
