Developmental Editing

What is developmental editing?

Developmental editing is a type of manuscript editing that focuses on the key aspects of the story. The editor will comment on aspects such as overall structure, plot, characters, setting, continuity, etc. This is a big-picture edit.

Nova did an excellent job of distilling my half-done mystery manuscript down into salient points and providing guidance on where I could go from there. Very sharp observations and she was willing to provide additional feedback to help me make the manuscript the best I could. Definitely recommend.

The best recommendation I can give is that I've used her multiple times on the same manuscript, and it gets more polished with each revision. She has a sharp eye for details, provides positive feedback, along with accurate/honest critique where needed.
