Developmental Editing
If you're an author and you've just completed a manuscript, a developmental edit is the perfect next step. I'll work with you to deliver an exceptional edit that brings out your best writing and preserves your unique voice.
Developmental Edit
I'll read and evaluate your completed manuscript, then write a letter outlining your story's strengths and weaknesses, and provide suggestions for improvement. The letter will be broken up into sections with subheadings such as plot, setting, characterization, dialogue, and structure. The length of the letter will depend on the length of your manuscript, but letters typically range from 8 to 15 pages.

Partial Manuscript Developmental Edit
This is perfect if you've hit a road block and are struggling to finish. I'll evaluate any part of your manuscript you choose (first 50 pages, first 100, first chapter, last chapter, etc.), and write a 2-5 page letter outlining strengths, weaknesses, and give suggestions for improvement.

One Chapter Edit
Similar to the partial manuscript developmental edit, I will evaluate one chapter (up to 15 pages), and include a one page editorial note. Fee will be waived if you decide on a full manuscript edit going forward.
Flat fee of $25.00 with in-line comments
