FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the bigger picture of your manuscript, including story structure, plot, pacing, character development, chapter flow, and overall reader experience.
Do you edit the entire book?
Yes. I can provide developmental book editing for complete manuscripts. Please select the package that matches your word count or message me for a custom offer.
What genres do you edit?
I work with fiction and nonfiction, including novels, memoirs, self-help, children's books, Christian books, and other book manuscripts.
Will you rewrite my book for me?
Developmental editing is different from ghostwriting. I provide detailed feedback, suggestions, and editorial recommendations while preserving your voice and creative vision.
Can you find plot holes and character problems?
Yes. My developmental editing can identify plot inconsistencies, weak character development, pacing issues, repetition, unclear sections, and structural problems.
Can you edit my manuscript before I publish it?
Absolutely. Developmental book editing is ideal for identifying structural and story issues before moving to copy editing, proofreading, formatting, or publication.
