Developmental editor for fiction authors
I started developmental edit after realizing a serious gap. Editors always focused on the creative side but forgot the practical side, which is when writing a story, authors go with the flow, but when...
About this Gig
Most important thing about my developmental edit is to make sure authors who work with me have the best manuscript to gain financial success. My process for that is:
- I provide reader flow (inline comments). If there is an issue that can be solved at the line level, it is immediately addressed here. Issues that might not be raised in the editorial overview are handled in this stage. This is one of the most important parts of my developmental edit.
- Now comes the editorial overview. Here, we discuss plot and structure, world building, tone and voice consistency, and market analysis. Market analysis is the main part. Self publishing platforms allow certain categories, sometimes three or more depending on the platform. The most important question is whether your manuscript is optimized for that, and if not, how to fix it. A conclusion with clear solutions to improve your book is provided.
- I have an add on called Market Fit Ultra. In this, I use marketing concepts like buyer persona and SWOT to show how potential readers would react to different parts of your story. To simplify, it is like simulating beta readers with different tastes and perspectives.

FAQ
Do you use AI? If not, how can I trust that claim?
I don’t use AI. You can check my profile for samples of my work, including inline comments and editorial overviews. This is the best proof that I don’t use AI. You can also ask for a free sample before committing.
What is the Market Fit Ultra add on?
Simply put, we simulate how your readers would react to your book based on their buyer persona, including where they are from, what they consume daily, and how they would perceive different parts of your book.
Do you offer a free sample edit?
I do. Based on your judgment, send me your manuscript for a free sample. If possible, keep it under 3,000 words.
My Qualifications for Developmental Editing
I have published two books of my own that have reached a Top 111 BSR in Time Fiction, subject to change. In science fiction, action, adventure, mystery, and thriller, I have practical experience in how these genres work. As a fellow author, I also interact with other writers, which gives me a strong

Naik was really professional and thorough with the developmental edits. He delivered the edits within the indicated timeframe—which was impressive (70k words in a week)—and left lots of valid, detail-oriented suggestions. I’d definitely recommend working with him, and I think I’m going to choose him again for future projects.

Naik was incredibly polite, very timely, and has amazing attention to detail! There was a minor delay that he professionally and swiftly informed me about, and he stuck to the updated delivery date with time to spare (which is amazing considering the text that was sent to him was over 65,000 words long). 5 stars!!
