Developmental Editing

$85.00+

Focus: Structure, clarity, pacing, purpose
Developmental editing looks at the big picture. I’ll help you refine your ideas and organize your content more effectively—whether you're working on a nonfiction manuscript, educational material, or story-driven writing. My feedback includes both a detailed editorial letter and in-text comments designed to support your revisions.
What’s included:
  • Editorial letter (2–4+ pages) with strengths, issues, and concrete next steps
  • In-line comments and questions throughout the draft
  • Focus on structure, flow, audience, clarity, and consistency
  • Optional follow-up consultation
