Services
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITing
Sometimes called substantive editing, this big-picture type of editing focuses on major narrative elements, such as theme, plot, characters, and pacing.
You’ll receive a detailed, multi-page editorial letter describing the strengths and areas for growth in your manuscript, as well as in-manuscript comments focusing on specific moments in the story.
​
This service includes two 1-hour consultations: one to establish your goals for the edit, and another to review the final edits together.
​
Unlike copyediting, this kind of edit does not include corrections to grammar or punctuation.
Manuscript Critique
Think of this as the express developmental edit. You’ll still receive an in-depth, multi-page letter evaluating your manuscript, but without the marginal comments.
​
This high-level assessment offers a big-picture overview of your manuscript’s strengths and areas for growth.
You’ll receive a concise editorial letter outlining key elements like structure, character development, pacing, and narrative voice. While not as detailed as a full developmental edit, this critique provides actionable feedback to guide your next round of revisions.

This service includes two 1-hour consultations: one to establish your goals for the project, and another to review critique feedback together.
