Writers with a complete draft seeking big-picture feedback: If you’ve completed a draft of your novel and want to receive professional story-level feedback before diving into the revision process, a developmental edit is right for you.

Writers seeking in-depth feedback: Unlike a manuscript evaluation, a developmental edit provides an exhaustive road-map of actionable suggestions designed to strengthen your story’s overall structure, plot, pacing, characters, worldbuilding, point of view, narrative voice, tone, thematic clarity, and more. The comprehensive nature of this edit makes it the perfect choice for writers seeking to ensure their story reaches its full potential.

Writers preparing for publication: No matter if you’re aiming to self-publish, land an agent, or submit to a publishing house, a developmental edit boosts your novel’s chances of making it out of the slush pile and/or the TBR list by working to ensure your story is engaging from start to finish.
