Developmental Editing

Any aspiring book author who needs guidance on content, structure, voice, and readability should consider working with a developmental editor. The right editor understands the anatomy of a book: its bone structure, how all the parts work together, and how a book differs from other written media. She also knows how to help each author capitalize on personal strengths and offset limitations. It’s a straightforward process that can be tailored to your individual needs:

• Develop a writing calendar that fits your life
• Identify the target readership
• Create a logical, fluid outline
• Generate a first draft
• Revise into polished draft
• Optimize reader experience

Developmental editing relationships typically last from 2-6 months. Packages can be customized to include line editing, publication consultation, marketing/platform consultation, and author services matching support.

Packages start at $3000.
