Need Help Figuring Out What’s Not Working? Let’s Fix the Foundation Before You Polish the Finish

You’ve got a first (or second) draft, but something feels off. Maybe you’re not sure if your plot makes sense, your characters feel flat, or your pacing drags. Maybe you’ve rewritten chapter one five times and still hate it. That’s where developmental editing comes in.

​

This is not just about pointing out what’s wrong—it’s about showing you why something isn’t working and how to fix it.

​

Developmental edits are for authors in the early to mid-drafting stages who are ready to dive deep into structure, character arcs, world logic, and emotional payoff. It’s about shaping your raw material into a solid, compelling story with a strong backbone before you worry about polish or prose.

​

As a published author, screenwriter, and story analyst, I bring a sharp editorial eye and a decade of narrative experience to your story. My goal isn’t to rewrite it for you—it’s to equip you with the insight and strategy you need to revise with purpose and confidence.

​

You’ll receive a detailed edit letter breaking down your manuscript’s core strengths and issues, alongside in-line comments showing exactly where your story shines—and where it trips up. I’ll help you rethink plot points, flesh out character motivations, tighten structure, and fine-tune your story’s emotional impact.

If you're stuck in revision hell or feeling overwhelmed by reader feedback that doesn’t give solutions, this is the guidance you need to move forward.
