I also create a mood board based on your story for you to keep!

A developmental edit looks at the overall structure and content of your book, the changes you can make to improve it, along with helpful feedback to make those changes with confidence. It does not involve making corrections to spelling and grammar, reorganizing or cutting content, and rewriting awkward passages (that happens in the copyedit).

Every writer comes to me with different areas to address depending on where they need to strengthen their craft and what they want to achieve with their story. I focus on these areas to help you develop the skills to break through what’s holding you back.

Your developmental edit will give you comprehensive feedback on your strengths and highlight any areas for attention, complete with examples of issues extracted from your book and ways to improve it with helpful pointers, guidance.

All structural issues are addressed, including pace, tension, story and character arcs, plus how to get your story beats working best for your genre.

Once you receive your developmental edit, you will have an indexed and easy-to-reference in-depth document of everything you need to see where the story needs work and crucially, clear suggestions and ideas to fix it.

Your feedback will not only give you an excellent overview of the story’s structure, but it will encourage, inspire, and motivate you, and give you the direction and clarity to take your story across the finish line with confidence.

Every developmental edit includes a one-hour coaching call after the edit is returned to discuss anything you wish about the feedback.
