Are you a writer struggling to execute your vision for your draft?

I’ve worked on over 51 projects for 33+ clients and have a 5-star rating.
Developmental editing (also called structural editing) is the first step in the book editing process. As a developmental editor, I evaluate writers’ manuscripts from a broad perspective, considering structure, plot, character development, and more. My goal is to give writers the tools and information they need to strengthen their story and make it the best it can be.
