Developmental Edit
The Developmental Edit assesses all aspects of your full MS, including plot, pacing, characters, tension peaks, writing techniques, and marketability. This service includes a developmental critique (approx. 8–10 pages), followed by a 60-minute brainstorm with your editor post-report. This service is ideal if you have agent or publisher interest, are on the cusp of being published, or are looking for a deep editorial dive.
This service is mostly suitable for completely written manuscripts (MSS); if you have a work in progress, we’d recommend a batch of workshopping hours.
Line editing
A line edit involves a close read of your most polished draft, where an editor will redline and mark-up your pages. Every sentence will be scrutinised, and the editor will, among other things, mark-up any language that doesn’t work, run-on sentences, inconsistencies, weak passages, make cuts to unnecessary scenes or dialogue, etc.
One-to-one Workshopping
If you are looking for one-on-one support that puts you directly in touch with your editor, workshopping is a great option and you can have a work-in-progress or a full-length manuscript. You can use the time however you and your editor agree will work best, whether that’s reading your full MS or just a few scenes; re-reading revisions; marking up your manuscript; working through Show not Tell; brainstorming your plot and character arcs; workshop tension and pace; or preparing/polishing up your submission package.
This is our most flexible package, and with enough hours for the full experience, workshopping should include a developmental edit or an evaluation report.
Copy-Editing and Proofreading
Copy-editing and proofreading are final stage processes prepare a manuscript for submission to agents and publishers or to prepare a MS for indie-publication. A copy-edit is completed before the manuscript is ready for a proofread, which is the final stage.
