Developmental editing – Starts at 3 cents per word

Developmental editing (sometimes called comprehensive or substantial editing) is performed on manuscripts that are still in the “rough draft” stage. If you know the overall plot of your story but you can’t seem to fill in all the holes, a developmental edit will do you wonders.

Developmental editing requires an extraordinary amount of back-and-forth communication between editor and author, more so than any other type of editing. The editor asks questions, points out inconsistencies, and offers suggestions; the author clarifies any ideas that need further explanation, rewriting and creating new content when necessary. Together, this imaginative dream team produces a dynamic story that readers everywhere will enjoy.
