Get a detailed editorial report designed to help you see your project with precision and objectivity.
I undertake a close, analytical reading of your manuscript (or equivalent project material where appropriate — get in touch to discuss), assessing how effectively the different elements of the story are working together. This includes how the narrative functions across structure, character, tension, and theme.
Rather than focusing on sentence-level edits, this service is concerned with the architecture of the work. It's about identifying strengths, diagnosing issues, and mapping out a clear path forward.
You'll receive a detailed editorial report (6 pages minimum) with my analysis and recommendations.
If you also want your submitted manuscript marked up with suggested changes, the developmental edit might be what you're looking for.
Payment plans available spread across 4 or 6 fortnightly instalments.
For stories where word count isn't a good representation of the amount of work required (e.g. branching dialogue in games, or complex plotting systems for unfiction stories) we can work with an equivalent hourly rate. Please note a sample edit will be required.
