Developmental editing, also known as substantive or content editing, is usually the first step of editing a manuscript will go through. Developmental editing looks deeply at the content of your book. It will consider the big picture and ask questions like, does the book make sense? Does it flow well? Are the ideas developed and articulated clearly? Are there any major logical holes or flaws? We will usually leave notes for you to consider and recommend significant changes. That includes deleting sections or suggest adding more information. Structural editing can happen together with developmental editing if needed. We will also look at the overall way that a story is structured, focusing on logical flow, style, tone, and general quality of writing Our Developmental Editing package includes: a) Manuscript with in-line comments using Track Changes b) Writer's Feedback Report c) Writer's Evaluation Report Turnaround time is 10 days.
