Get expert feedback on the structure and substance of your manuscript. Developmental editing focuses on the "big picture" — helping you shape your message, strengthen your organization, and ensure your content flows with clarity and purpose.

This service includes:

• Evaluation of overall structure, organization (nonfiction), plot (fiction), and pacing.

• Insight on character development and narrative cohesion (for fiction).

• Suggestions for reorganizing chapters or combining redundant sections (large-scale).

• Identification of underdeveloped areas needing expansion.

• High-level guidance to improve clarity, impact, and reader engagement.

Perfect for authors seeking to refine the heart of their book before moving into line editing or proofreading.

Important Notes:

• I do not accept manuscripts containing profanity, vulgarity, or morally objectionable material, including but not limited to adult fiction.

• I reserve the right to respectfully decline any manuscript for any or no expressed reason.

• My availability is limited. If you are working within a specific deadline, please reach out before booking. I can often accommodate tight turnarounds with advance notice.

Close to a Level Break? If your manuscript is just slightly over a word count limit, reach out! I'm happy to offer a prorated adjustment so you're not paying for a full level jump.

Go ahead and place your order at the lower level to secure your spot on my schedule — I’ll follow up with the adjustment amount before we move forward.
