"The End" Book Editors

What is a Development Edit?

A developmental edit focuses on the “big picture” elements of a story and helps you improve plot, character development, conflict, dialogue, tension, and other aspects of storytelling.

What does this service include?

• An initial consultation on Google Meets where we meet to talk about your book, and what your vision for it is.
• A full in-depth read through of your manuscript.
• Marginal comments throughout the document.
• A written editorial letter where I provide an in-depth analysis of your manuscripts and suggest edits the content and structure of your book. In this document, I explain why these issues are a problem and provide you with some solutions that might help you fix the problem. Here, I help you tackle issues concerning plot structure, tension (or lack thereof), conflict and dialogue, character development, pacing and storytelling.
• A follow-up meeting on Google Meets where we can address your questions about the editorial letter.

Bonus 1: Plot Roadmap of your manuscript

This is an outline and summary of the key scenes in your novel and what type of scenes are used to bridge between them.

Bonus 2: Comprehensive review of the scenes of your manuscript

This document outlines the goal of each one of your scenes and the five key points each scene should have: inciting incident, turning point, crisis, climax and resolution.

How many developmental edits do I book per month?

One. I only work on 1 development edit every three months. New projects are only accepted at the beginning of every quarter.

If interested, schedule your initial consultation call now.

How does it work?

• Answer a survey for me about your book. This will help me learn more about your book, and what your vision for it is. Fill out the survey here.
• Schedule your initial consultation for a developmental edit now, and I’ll get in touch with you directly to agree on turnaround times.

How much does it cost?

This service costs $5000, with an upfront payment of $250. This advanced payment will be paid for when scheduling your initial consultation online.

If you already paid for a manuscript review, this payment is credited to the cost of the developmental edit.
