Developmental Editing

Developmental editing focuses on big picture issues to bolster your manuscript’s overall impression and guide you as you strengthen your vision. 

I Will Evaluate:

• Plot 
• Thematic inconsistencies 
• Characterisation 
• Structure
• Overall atmosphere 
• Narrative flow 

Final Product:

• Annotated manuscript: I use Adobe PDF’s comment feature to make suggestions for your manuscript. 
• An editorial report: This report is a document outlining all the inconsistencies I notice and all the changes I suggest in a clear and concise manner. 
• A style sheet: A style sheet functions as a literary guide book by recording preferences, such as character names, important terms, and technical specifications.
