Developmental Editing*

This is geared to the writer who needs assistance with the organization and the strength of a book. In the first draft, the beta reader will include a reader’s report with detailed notes on the story. This will provide analysis with insights on plot, dialogue, point of view, tense, flow, characterization, pacing, tone, and structure. It answers questions such as, ”Is this book the right number of chapters?,” “Are the chapters and paragraphs the right order?” “ Are there any places in the book where the pacing lags?,” “Is this book universally accessible?,” This report provides honest and constructive feedback.

Four weekly Zoom meetings will be set aside to discuss techniques to boost the future sales of your book. Each additional meeting will be $10 per session. Because of the extensive nature of this form of editing, it is more time-intensive and costly. However, it is worth the investment if you are serious about succeeding as an author.
