Professional Proofreading Services

 

A developmental editor meticulously analyzes a story’s structure, ensuring logical plot progression and character development. They assess character motivations, pacing, thematic elements, and narrative style. This collaborative process involves specific feedback and suggestions for rewrites, enhancing the overall impact of the work.

Benefits of Developmental Editing:

  • Enhanced Storytelling: Developmental editing transforms good ideas into great stories by refining the plot, characters, and pacing.
  • Professional Insight: Gain expert advice on how to strengthen your story arc, character development, and plot.
  • Objective Feedback: Our editors use a checklist of 49 elements to provide an objective edit, showing exactly where and how to enhance your writing.
  • Comprehensive Review: Receive a high-level, substantive review with specific feedback for revisions, ensuring your manuscript is structurally sound.
  • Improved Reader Engagement: An in-depth analysis of your writing, reader engagement, and structural strength helps keep readers hooked.

 

  • Detailed Summary: Get a professional summary letter critiquing your entire presentation, along with an outline of your story arc and improvement instructions.
  • Balanced Pacing: Recommendations for pacing adjustments ensure thematic consistency and overall balance.
  • In-Depth Editing: This process includes inline changes, syntax rules, and feedback, focusing on plot, scene, point of view, characters, tone, voice, dialogue, pace, setting, readability, and organization.
  • Publishing Preparation: With unique publishing experience, our editors help your story shine before contacting an agent, overcoming common foundational weaknesses.

After developmental editing, your manuscript will be ready for copy editing and proofreading. Our developmental edit evaluates your story, providing professional insight and high-level instructions to strengthen your story arc, character development, and plot.
