Developmental Editing
requires custom quote
Developmental editing is often the first step in the editing process and as the name implies, it helps writers develop a rough draft into a smooth, coherent, artfully crafted work.
This service is ideal for writers seeking a detailed professional review or those who are "stuck" on some aspect of their work. It also applies to manuscripts that are still in progress, or those that are complete but have significant structural issues.
We will look at the big picture of your manuscript, identifying scenes or sections that are working well, in addition to those that should be expanded, reduced, or eliminated. We will identify awkwardly written passages and inconsistencies or contradictions. We can also help with things like plot, character development, pacing, composition, point of view, dialogue, organization, ensuring appropriateness for intended audience, and more.
This service may include one or more phone/Skype consultations with Alissa, depending on where you are in your writing process and exactly what kind of assistance you are looking for.
