Author-Centered Editing Services.

Developmental Editing

Developmental Editing helps you improve your novel’s character development, plot, tension, pacing, structure, and other big picture issues that make or break a book. My developmental editing offers:

  • Feedback inserted into document using comment boxes in Microsoft Word or Google Docs
  • A Next Steps Editing Plan, including a list of revisions, lessons in writing, and concrete suggestions for how to fix the issues in the text
  • An optional 30 minute Zoom planning session where we discuss the editorial suggestions and implement a plan of attack

Line Editing

A line editor works on a draft that has already been through developmental editing and beta readers. They make sure the tone and style of your writing is correct for the audience and genre. They pay attention to clarity, point of view, tense shifts, and emotional power on a sentence level. I see line editing as a sentence-level extension of developmental editing. My goal? To help you communicate plot, theme, and character development through each single word, phrase, description, and dialogue. 

If you’re confused about how line editing differs from copy editing and proofreading, take a look at this excellent article!
