Development Editing
I'll discuss your goals, read your story, and provide high-level feedback on how to improve and strengthen it. I'll be real, but I'll also focus on the key points we discuss. My particular strengths are in plot (fixing plot holes is a specialty!), character arcs and pacing.
- Step One: I'll review a chapter (±2,000 words) for free. We'll see if I'm a good fit, if I can offer any help, and if you find my feedback valuable.
- Step Two: I read your entire story. I believe that development editing works best with the end in mind. I need to see and understand where your story wants to go, BEFORE I provide feedback.
- Step Three: I provide a written summary, with actionable points and feedback on where you can consider strengthening the story.
What I don't do: I don't provide copy editing or line editing. However, I will point out any consistent areas for improvement that I notice when reading.
This is a big picture, development edit. At the end of this process, you'll understand your story's strengths and weaknesses, and have a set of clear, actionable items for you to consider and develop.
