Developmental Editing for Novel by Published Author Story Structure Character Development
PLEASE MESSAGE BEFORE PURCHASING to discuss your manuscript and confirm pricing!
Developmental Editing by a Fellow Author ✍️
As a published romance and women's fiction author with a scientific research background, I provide developmental editing that strengthens your story's foundation while respecting your creative vision.
What is Developmental Editing? Big-picture feedback on story structure, plot development, character arcs, pacing, and thematic consistency. This is NOT line editing or proofreading—it's about making your story work at a structural level.
What You'll Receive (Digital Deliverables):
📖 Annotated manuscript with structural notes (Word doc with track changes)
📖 Plot hole identification and solutions
📖 Character arc analysis and development suggestions
📖 Pacing recommendations (where to speed up/slow down) 📖 Scene-by-scene effectiveness review
Why Work With Me: I've been where you are—staring at a manuscript that needs help but not sure where to start. As a published author with a microbiology background, I combine analytical thinking with storytelling intuition. I'll tell you what's not working AND how to fix it in ways that feel achievable.
Bonus: As a disabled, neurodivergent author, I naturally include OwnVoices sensitivity insights on chronic illness, mental health, neurodivergence, and disability representation—woven into your developmental feedback at no extra charge.
Pricing by Word Count:
📖 Up to 50K words - $300 (This listing)
📖 Up to 80K words - $550
📖 Up to 110K words - $800
Add-On Services Available: Want query letter review, synopsis polish, or follow-up revision feedback? Message me for custom pricing!
Specialties: Romance, romcom, women's fiction, romantic suspense, contemporary fiction, thrillers
Delivery: 2-4 weeks depending on manuscript length
How to Order:
1. Message me with your word count and brief story synopsis
2. I'll confirm pricing and create a custom listing if needed
3. Send your manuscript (Word doc or Google Docs)
4. Receive your annotated manuscript
From one author to another—let's make your story structurally sound and emotionally powerful!
