About this Gig
You've written your story, now let's shape it into the strongest version it can be.
Whether you're planning to self-publish, pitch to agents, or simply want your novel to shine, a developmental edit will give you the big-picture insight you need to take your manuscript to the next level.
What is a developmental edit?
It's an in-depth critique that focuses on storytelling elements such as:
- Plot structure and pacing
- Character development and arcs
- World-building and setting
- Tone, theme, and voice
- Scene effectiveness and reader engagement
What you'll receive (depending on package):
- A detailed editorial letter, outlining strengths, challenges, and improvement strategies
- Chapter-by-chapter commentary on structure, tension, and flow
- Comments on character consistency, plot holes, theme execution, and emotional payoff
- A clear, compassionate guide to your next draft
- In-text comments giving my real-time reader reaction
- Highlighted annotations: Green = I loved this. Yellow = Is this necessary? Pink = too much telling.
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.

The report I got from Paige really helped me understand where my story was strong and where it needed strengthening. The notes felt supportive in both aspects. We authors tend to be a sensitive bunch and it was clear that Paige knows how to give feedback in a way that resonates to authors. Paige is on my very short list to work with again.
