FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the bigger-picture elements of a manuscript, including structure, pacing, character development, organization, themes, coherence, and reader impact.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. I work with both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts and tailor my feedback to the needs of the book.
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
Developmental editing primarily focuses on analysis, feedback, and recommendations rather than rewriting the author's work. My goal is to help you make informed revisions while preserving your voice.
Is proofreading included?
No. This gig focuses on developmental issues rather than detailed grammar, spelling, punctuation, and proofreading. Those services are covered by the separate editing/proofreading gig.
Can you edit my entire book?
Yes. The Premium package is designed for larger manuscripts, while additional words can be purchased when needed.
Will you tell me exactly what needs to be changed?
I'll identify developmental issues, explain why they may affect the manuscript, and provide practical revision suggestions so you can strengthen the book.
Can you work with a first draft?
Absolutely. Developmental editing can be especially useful when you're preparing a first or early draft for a major revision.
