With developmental editing, our editors will assess your document or manuscript as a whole, make changes, and provide comprehensive advice and feedback to improve the creative aspects of your hard work. This is the most comprehensive form of editing we offer for longer documents, and aims to help writers shape a first draft or work in progress. For both fiction and non-fiction writing, our developmental editing will involve an evaluation of your style, structure, and content. For works of fiction, this extends to story elements of plot, pacing, and characterisation.

In addition to our changes, we will add detailed comments and annotations to your manuscript offering suggestions and strategies for improvement. After the editing process is complete, we will hold an online meeting with you to discuss and expand upon our feedback, share opinions, and answer any questions you may have. We will assist your vision and give you the advice you need to take your writing to the next level.

We recommend developmental editing if:

You have a complete, or nearly complete draft of your document or manuscript and would like our advice and assistance to develop your work and improve your writing style.
