While there are many types of editors in publishing, a developmental editor helps an author strengthen and develop with a focus on character, plot, and worldbuilding. They look at big-picture strengths and weaknesses to ensure your manuscript is free of plot holes, incomplete character arcs, or a lackluster world.

Developmental edits typically happen before a manuscript is ready for copyedits, proofreading, line edits, querying, or publication, but services vary from editor to editor.

A full developmental edit with Wraith’s Fate Press runs $0.002-0.003 per word. This includes a full read through of your manuscript with in-line comments and a detailed editorial letter outlining specific feedback on plot, structure, character, dialogue, and worldbuilding. All edits are done in Microsoft Word, and follow-up questions are included.

Although my expertise lies in young adult/new adult science fiction, fantasy, and horror, I'm open to exploring all genres of fiction. If you have any specific content concerns, we can address them during our initial consultation.

Choosing the right editor can be a daunting task! In addition to holding a master’s degree in screenwriting and being a writing teacher, I am an author myself, and I know how much work goes into this craft. My editing style is one driven by compassion, thoroughness, and honesty. I’m here to make sure your experience is a positive one full of growth, learning, and strengthening your skillset.
