My developmental editing service is designed to help you shape your story into its most powerful and polished form.

We begin with a 1-hour Zoom consultation, where we’ll discuss your manuscript, your goals, and the heart of the story you want to tell. This session allows me to get a strong feel for your vision and the emotional core of your work.

Developmental Focus Areas:

• Character development – Are your characters fully realized, emotionally resonant, and engaging?

• Narrative arc – Does your story build naturally, with satisfying stakes and resolution?

• Plot structure and pacing – Are events unfolding in a compelling way, or do some sections lag or feel rushed?

• Voice and tone – Does your writing style suit the age group and/or genre? Is it authentic and consistent?

• Scene flow and transitions – Does each scene move the story forward and keep the reader engaged?

• Theme and emotional resonance – Are your underlying messages clear and meaningful without being heavy-handed?

Line Editing
Suggestions to enhance clarity, rhythm, tone, and style, while preserving your unique voice.

Copy Editing
A polish pass to correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and ensure consistency in style and mechanics.

1-Hour Zoom Follow-Up
After you’ve had time to review the edits, we’ll meet again to discuss the feedback, answer questions, and talk through your next steps.

This is more than just editing; it's a creative partnership designed to bring out the best in your story.
