Fiction developmental editing can happen at any part of the drafting process. If you have an idea, outline, or full draft, a developmental edit can help you work through issues of characterization, plot development, or integration of themes.

​

I have worked as a developmental editor for genres including: 

• Contemporary romance

• Historical romance

• Women's fiction

• Young adult fiction

• Fantasy

 

When requesting a quote for a developmental edit, please list what materials you have prepared (broad idea, detailed outline, or partial or completed draft) and your aim with the project (short story, novella, novel).  

​

Developmental editing rates are quoted on a per hour basis. This can include both synchronous (via phone or video call) and asynchronous editorial help. 

Developmental essays for applications to college, graduate programs, or scholarships work best after a first draft is at least partially completed. A developmental edit for these materials will help hone your essay, ensure that it adheres to the prompt, and maximizes efficacy within word count requirements. 

​

I have worked on application materials for: 

• Colleges across the U.S.

• Graduate school (Masters and PhD programs)

• Medical school

• Veterinary school

• Dental school 

• Scholarships

​

When requesting a quote for a developmental edit, please provide all relevant materials including prompts, word counts, due dates, and other details provided by the institution. 

​

Application developmental editing rates are quoted on a per hour basis. This can include both synchronous (via phone or video call) and asynchronous editorial help. 

Academic developmental editing can happen at any part of the drafting process. If you have a prompt, a proposal, or a full or partial draft, a developmental edit can help you work through issues of argument, research, and ethos. 

​
