With a developmental edit, we’ll be diving into the meat of your manuscript. From content and organization to tone and style, this is where we can finesse your big picture.
This type of editing can also be broken into parts, if you prefer! Confident in your structure, and just want to look at your language? We can do that. I am happy to work with you in whatever way you’d like.
Want more information before you get a quote? Here are the details on some of the ways I can help you within a developmental edit:
- The order of your sections or paragraphs; do the thoughts flow logically? Is there information repeated that could be consolidated?
- The order of the thoughts within your paragraphs; now that the larger structure is in order, do the paragraphs themselves flow internally?
- The length of your piece; do you have a word count you haven’t met? Or that you’ve exceeded? Have you expressed your thoughts concisely?
- The breaks within your writing; where do paragraphs need to break, and where do headings need to be inserted?
- The tone of the piece; have you found the best words or phrases to capture your concepts?
