FAQ
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript, including plot structure, pacing, character arcs, romantic tension, emotional payoff, and overall story cohesion.
How will I receive my feedback?
You will receive an annotated manuscript with in-line developmental comments, along with a detailed editorial letter containing actionable revision guidance.
Do you provide line editing or copyediting?
My primary focus is developmental editing and big-picture storytelling, though I may also note recurring prose-level concerns related to clarity, repetition, or immersion.
