Developmental Editing
Price: $0.02/word
Developmental editing is a high-level editorial review focused on the overall structure and content of the manuscript.
It provides you with:
-
In-depth feedback on story structure, characters, pacing, and themes
-
Chapter notes with clear, actionable suggestions
-
Guidance on tricky craft areas like POV, dialogue, and flow
-
Support for revisions with a follow-up consultation
This type of editing dives into the big-picture elements of your story: plot, pacing, flow, character arcs, world-building, and themes. It doesn’t cover detailed grammar or proofreading, but if I spot any obvious errors that get in the way of the reading, I’ll flag them for you.
Copy/Line Editing
Price: $0.015/word
Copy & Line Editing is a detailed, line-by-line review of your manuscript that sharpens the writing without changing your unique voice.
It provides you with:
-
Corrections for grammar, punctuation, and spelling
-
Smoother sentence structure for clarity and flow
-
Consistency in tone, style, and formatting
-
Polished word choice and phrasing when needed
This type of editing focuses on clarity, readability, and flow at the sentence level, which includes pacing issues if necessary. It doesn’t cover big-picture elements like plot structure or character development.
Proofreading
Price: $0.01/word
Proofreading is the final review your manuscript gets before publication. It catches small errors that might have slipped through earlier rounds of editing.
It provides you with:
-
Corrections for typos and spelling mistakes
-
Fixes for punctuation and grammar slips
-
Consistency in formatting and style details
-
A clean, professional read-through to ensure accuracy
This type of editing is only surface-level, being perfect for the last stage before publishing. It doesn’t include rewriting, sentence restructuring, or content feedback, but it makes sure your manuscript is error-free and publication-ready.
