About this Gig
Focus on bringing your manuscript up to publishing standard with a developmental edit
If you're a real writer looking to polish your manuscript into the kind of novel publishers fight over, then I am the editor for you!
This developmental edit goes well beyond a beta read, focusing on a more in-depth analysis of your structure, pacing, character development, and reader engagement.
Your full editorial letter will include:
- Overview
- First Impressions
- Storyline and Plot
- Structure and Pacing
- Character Development
- Dialogue
- Voice and Narrative Style
- Setting and Worldbuilding
- Suggested Action Plan
I also include in-line comments as I read through your pages. This will allow you to see which points elicit an emotional response, as well as any inconsistencies that need to be addressed.
A developmental edit is perfect for those looking to query their work or beginning their self-publishing journey.
I am experienced in the romance, fantasy, romantasy, dystopian, and sci-fi genres. Known for providing detailed, constructive feedback and trusted by over 100 authors on Fiverr.

FAQ
What is a developmental edit?
This is one of the first steps you should take before publishing or querying your manuscript. A developmental edit will help you figure out plot holes and inconsistencies, how well your characters connect with the reader, and the general perception.
What is the difference between a beta read and a developmental edit?
A beta read will provide a general insight into the first impressions of your manuscript, how your characters come across, plot, and pacing. A developmental edit letter will cover those aspects and more in much greater detail. It will highlight every issue and provide solutions.
What genres do you accept?
I love reading a wide variety of genres. My expertise lies in the fantasy, romantasy, romance, paranormal, sci-fi, adventure, and supernatural works. I do also enjoy crime thillers!
Should I contact you first before ordering?
Yes. My schedule fills quite quickly and I cannot always take on manuscripts instantly. Contacting me first allows me to find a dedicated time to work on your novel.

A great experience! I submitted my first chapter for review, and Kira provided excellent feedback on what was working and what needed more attention. The inline comments were particularly helpful, since they provided essentially "live" feedback--without the stress of watching someone read your work! I would definitely work with Kira again.

Kira did a detailed development edit on my manuscript. She gave me a lot of very productive notes and a lot of homework to do. But that was great. My story will be better for it. Highly recommend Kira.
