Developmental Editing: Providing a Fresh Perspective

Developmental editing is a hands-on approach to revision. It’s a thorough review of an entire manuscript. I'll evaluate the structure of your document, as well as the logic and suitability for the audience. I’ll identify content-related issues, organizational problems, logic fallacies, and areas that need more information.

Developmental editing can be intensive! Given the necessary investment, I recommend a free 30-minute phone consultation so I can learn more about your project: its status, the guidance you need, and what your end goals are. Then, we'll work together to help you see your material through a new lens.

Developmental Editing Includes

• A full manuscript review to assess big-picture items like organization, structure, logic, and content.

• Constructive criticism via Microsoft Word comments and a substantive transmittal letter via email.

• 24-hour email support throughout the editing process.

Cost

Developmental editing is billed hourly. Copy editing can be incorporated into a developmental edit upon request at an additional fee.
