Developmental editing is where some of the best stories start! Developmental editing is sometimes misunderstood and looped in with copy editing and line editing. However, developmental editing focuses on the bigger picture of your work rather than word choices and grammar. Sometimes called substantive editing or content editing, it focuses on plot, setting, characterization, pacing, craft, and organization.

Want to get the most out of what you read in order to become a better writer? Let me show you how to analyze what you read to make you a better writer.

This service is for writers who want to deepen their craft by understanding what makes great books work. We'll study the techniques of published authors in your genre so you can apply those insights directly to your own writing.

A manuscript evaluation gives you a thorough editorial letter without a full edit. I'll read your complete manuscript and provide a detailed written assessment covering what's working, what needs attention, and specific recommendations for revision.

This is a great option for writers who want a professional perspective and a clear path forward before committing to a full developmental edit.
