The Book Doctor Is In: Developmental Editing Services
DO YOU NEED AN EDITOR?
Maybe your novel’s got some plot holes you can’t figure out how to patch and the pacing seems off. Or maybe you’re writing a memoir or business book, and you’re struggling with narrative structure, voice, and content.
No matter what genre you’re writing in, you hope to give your book the best chance possible to thrive in today’s crowded publishing marketplace. That’s where a developmental editor can help.
Whether you’re a seasoned writer or this is your first manuscript, I can provide thoughtful feedback and guidance on developing plot, deepening characters, sharpening dialogue, and figuring out pacing problems. I’ll also help you improve your narrative structure and content, as well as polishing your prose until it gleams.
Developmental editing services include:
- Manuscript evaluation. I’ll read your manuscript and provide you with comments on the pages, identifying strengths and areas in need of revision.
- Editorial letter: I’ll write a detailed editorial letter analyzing your manuscript and suggest ways you can improve everything from point of view to narrative structure.
- Follow-Up Conversation: We can chat about the suggested revisions by email, Zoom, or phone to brainstorm next steps and solutions.
