Developmental Editing

.012 PER WORD, USD

All services from the copy & line editing package are included, as well as a comprehensive look at character, plot, and overall novel structure.

If you aren’t sure if your main character is likable, if you haven’t quite figured out that ending yet, this is the tier for you. At this tier, I am also willing to extensively discuss these elements with you. For more information about each step, you can visit my process page.

50% of this cost is due as a deposit payment on date of beginning edits, and 50% due on completion of edits. Further split pricing is available on request.

Services Included

A full, personalized editorial report at the end of the first round of edits.
Ongoing consultation and advisement, including discussion of the editorial report and ongoing support as you implement edits.
Creation of a style guide, a character glossary, and the editorial report.

My thoughts on your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, comprehensively discussing characters, themes, and arcs.
Two to three full passes of your manuscript, and a second round of edits.
If more edits are needed, we can then discuss an additional pricing structure.
