About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Developmental editing is often referred to as 'big picture editing'. This is usually the first type of editing a manuscript undergoes - it is where the editor looks at the plot, characters, theme, perspective/POV, author voice, and worldbuilding. It is not a proofread or a copy-edit. A developmental edit will include in-line comments throughout the document with suggestions, thoughts, and ideas. These comments will then be actioned by the author, not the editor.* If you have any questions about your project, or whether developmental editing is right for you, please reach out and we can discuss it further.
*If you would like to discuss a project where I action the changes suggested, this can be arranged.

I don’t know if I can find the superlatives to adequately state how fortunate I feel to have found Sarah. Her obvious careful reading and consideration of my story and her edit comments reflected her deep investment in my writing, delving deeply into every chapter, how the book flowed, the plot line...
