You’ve worked on your book for awhile now, but you’re just not sure it’s all working together. Do your character descriptions hold up from the chunk you wrote six months ago till now? Do you know the main themes of your book, and do they actually come across throughout the entire manuscript?

If you’re asking yourself any of these questions, a developmental edit is just what you need.

What I do

Read through the entire manuscript and take note of the following:

  • Character growth/development

  • Plot

  • Pacing/flow

  • Themes

  • Overall presentation

What you get

  • Detailed notes throughout your manuscript relating to each of the areas above.

  • A chapter summary and analysis of each individual chapter.

  • Open lines of communication as you make changes after receiving your edited manuscript.
