DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
Developmental editing is the “big picture” scope of your work. It covers the building blocks of your story, including plot, character development, setting, point of view, pacing, dialogue, themes, and more.
DO I NEED DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING?
You are working on big picture concepts. You may be writing something new, self-editing a rough draft, or going back to work on a piece that has been previously rejected.

In-depth, line-by-line editing strengthens your message and story by refining your prose. Line editing smoothes language to improve word choice and pacing, eliminates redundancies and awkward language, and helps you “show” rather than “tell.” It also covers issues of points of view, cliches, paragraph structure, sentence variation, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and more.

You feel confident about the big picture and are ready to dig deep into language and polish your writing to perfection.
