Developmental Editing
This type of editing takes a look at the big picture. It is similar to a manuscript evaluation, but it goes deeper and includes in-text comments and an extensive revision letter that details developmental issues that need revising. I explain why each is problematic and offer suggestions for revisions.
In fiction, developmental editing addresses areas such as plot, structure, characterization, pacing, point of view (including head-hopping), tense, dialogue, central conflict, and world-building.
Rates begin at 4 cents/word.
