Indie Developmental Edit
A combination of a traditional developmental edit and a sentence edit, this Indie Developmental Edit looks at the overarching plot as well as the sentences that compose it. With a lifetime of reading and 10 years of editing under my belt, I can speak to almost all genres, from chapter books and MG to YA, women’s fiction, sweet romance, thrillers, and inspirational fiction. This Indie Developmental Edit includes:
*A lengthy email detailing notes on plot, characters, setting, world-building, story arcs, pacing, etc. I’ll include positive as well as constructive observations and some big-picture editing suggestions. These will be specific to your book’s genre and projected readership.
*In-document real time reactions- both constructive and encouraging- as comments in the sidebar of the Word document. From plot twists to out-of-character moments, I will give you a window to your readers’ minds.
*Highlighting sentence-level challenges and suggesting fixes to make your writing more immediate, active, and engaging without sacrificing your unique voice. Sentence-level habits will be marked and noted in the edit letter so you can learn to spot them as you continue in your career.
