About this Gig
Does your manuscript have a good story but still feel like something is missing?
I'll help you look at the bigger picture of your book through developmental editing.
I'll examine the areas that can affect how well your story works, including:
Plot and structure
Pacing
Character development
Character arcs
Point of view
Story consistency
Scene flow
Dialogue
Plot holes
Weak or confusing sections
Overall story development
My goal is not to change your voice or turn your story into something that isn't yours. I'll help you identify areas that could be stronger while keeping your vision at the center.
This service is suitable for novels, fiction, nonfiction, and other manuscript projects that need big-picture attention.
If you're looking for more than simple proofreading and want someone to examine how your manuscript works as a whole, this service is for you.

FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the bigger picture of your manuscript, such as plot, structure, pacing, character development, POV, story flow, and consistency.
What types of books do you developmental edit?
I can work with fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, including novels and other book length projects.
Is developmental editing the same as proofreading?
No. Developmental editing focuses on how the manuscript works as a whole, while proofreading focuses mainly on surface level errors such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Will you change my writing style?
No. My goal is to help strengthen your manuscript while respecting your voice, ideas, and creative direction.
Can you help with plot holes?
Yes. Identifying plot holes, weak story points, inconsistencies, and areas that need further development can be part of the developmental editing process.
Should I choose developmental editing or beta reading?
Choose beta reading if you mainly want an honest reader's perspective. Choose developmental editing if you want a deeper examination of the manuscript's structure, story, characters, pacing, and development.
