The best writing contains both continuity and the development of character and plot. We help to make your work coherent and exciting.
A developmental edit considers your manuscript as a whole. Rather than focusing on line-by-line specifics, your editor will dig into the matter necessary to achieve a sense of overall harmony between the covers:
What is this book truly about? What is the goal or take-away? Who is the intended audience or market, and is the message being successfully delivered?
If appropriate, your editor will also engage in what is known as a content edit. This involves addressing plot development, pinpointing key areas that could be developed, ensuring that dialogue and descriptions are effective, and suggesting sections where the manuscript can be restructured or trimmed to achieve good pacing.
Completing a developmental edit assures that your manuscript is consistent, on-track, and ready for the next stage in the editing process.
