What You Can Expect from Developmental Editing

Are you revising but feel stuck on what’s working—and what isn’t? 

​​

• Introductory Session

We begin with a one-on-one session where you share your work, ideas, and goals. I ask thoughtful questions and get a clear sense of your story and what you want it to become.

• Manuscript Readings

After our session, I read your manuscript twice—once as a reader, and once as an editor—to fully understand both the experience and the craft.

• Editorial Letter

You’ll receive a detailed editorial letter that addresses the core elements of your story, including plot, characterization, point of view, pacing, structure, and audience. You’ll come away knowing what’s working, what needs strengthening, and how to move forward.

• In-Text Comments

Throughout your manuscript, I include clear, supportive comments to show how the feedback applies directly on the page, helping you connect big-picture insights to specific revisions.

• Optional Follow-Up Session

You’ll have the option to book a follow-up session to ask questions, talk through the feedback, and map out your next steps with confidence.
