Developmental Edits

-Who It’s For-

For writers who are actively drafting or revising a book and want ongoing, story-level feedback.

What’​s included in this editing service:

  • Deep, story-level feedback as you write, focused on structure, pacing, character arcs, and narrative logic

  • Line-by-line in-text commentary that digs into what’s working, what’s unclear, and where the story could be pushed further

  • Thoughtful, leading questions that help you see your own book more clearly and make stronger decisions as a writer

  • Collaborative brainstorming to flesh out ideas, explore possibilities, and clarify where the story wants to go

  • Support for partial or full drafts, whether you’re sending chapters as you go or sharing a complete manuscript

  • Guidance on cohesion and continuity, helping new ideas integrate smoothly with what’s already on the page

  • Concrete examples and suggestions (when useful) to illustrate how a problem might be approached

  • Ongoing conversation through chat, email, and live calls to talk through revisions, questions, and next steps

  • A story timeline and big-picture overview to keep track of character arcs, plot threads, and key developments

  • A second-pass review to make sure revisions align with the larger story and don’t introduce new conflicts
