About this Gig

For developmental editing, I will carefully read your novel, short story, or excerpt and provide inline commentary as well as a detailed editorial letter. Inline commentary will include suggestions for possible rewrites and highlight areas I think could be further developed or improved upon. I will also highlight areas where I believe your writing shines through, so you have a better understanding of what is working throughout your manuscript.

For developmental edits, I will pay special attention to the bigger picture of your work. This is not a copyedit or proofread, but instead, I will offer an assessment of the following areas: 

  • Narrative flow
  • Plot elements 
  • Characterization 
  • Narrative voice 
  • Pacing 
  • Theme 
  • Clarity of writing 
  • Dialogue 
  • Setting 
  • Genre-specific requirements
