Developmental Edit
I will be checking for the development of the characters, setting, world-building, language/dialogue, writing style, and timeline as well as repetitive word usage, grammar, story inconsistencies, and story flow. All developmental concerns will be addressed in an editorial letter that will accompany the edited manuscript using Microsoft Word’s Tracked Changes. If further discussion is needed, a phone call to discuss the necessary changes is also included. This is a per pass service. Each additional pass will require an additional fee. Only completed manuscripts will be accepted. Minimum word count: 50,000 words.

Proposal Review
I will provide detailed feedback on your synopsis/outline and/or query letter, as well as a developmental edit on the first two to three chapters of your story (up to 50 pages in total). A phone call to discuss the editorial needs of the proposal is included with this service. This service includes two passes.
