What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of a manuscript, including plot, structure, characters, pacing, scenes, themes, and overall reader experience.

Yes. I can provide developmental feedback on children's stories, including story structure, character development, pacing, age appropriateness, conflict, resolution, and overall storytelling.
Will you rewrite my entire book?
No. Developmental editing focuses on providing professional feedback and recommendations. I help you understand what can be improved while preserving your creative voice.
Can you work with an unfinished manuscript?
Yes. I can review unfinished manuscripts and provide guidance on structure, character development, plot direction, pacing, and areas that need further development.
