I will do developmental editing, character arc evaluation for fiction novel and novella

Developmental editing for fiction novels and novellas is more than fixing pagesits about uncovering why readers stop caring halfway through a story. If your manuscript has pacing issues, weak character motivation, confusing structure, or emotional moments that dont land, youre not alone. Most writers struggle because theyre too close to the story to spot whats missing.

I'm Douglas E, and I help authors transform rough drafts into immersive, reader-focused books that feel polished, intentional, and publish-ready. With experience editing fiction manuscripts across romance, fantasy, thriller, literary fiction, and novellas, I focus on the elements that truly shape reader engagement: character arcs, plot consistency, emotional payoff, pacing, tension, and chapter flow.

My editing process goes beyond surface corrections. I provide developmental feedback that identifies what weakens your story and practical guidance on how to strengthen it without losing your voice. Whether you're preparing for self-publishing, querying agents, or refining a first draft, I'll help you build a stronger manuscript with clarity and confidence.
