I NEED AN EDITOR

You’ve done it. You’ve written your book.

You want to get it into the world, whether the traditional way or by publishing it yourself.

And you know you need more than your mom or best friend to read it.

You need a developmental editor.

A developmental editor looks at the big picture of your book. They identify the cracks, strengthen the plot, help the pacing, the tension, and make sure the stakes are high. Together, we make sure your book is the best it can be. That it fits its genre. That it’s ready to sell.

THE DEV EDIT

PRICE BREAKDOWN

Price: $5000

Duration: 4-6 weeks

Big-picture feedback to strengthen the foundation of your book.

You’ll receive:

  • A detailed editorial letter outlining:

    • Strengths + opportunities for improvement

    • Structure, pacing, and flow

    • Plot inconsistencies or logic gaps (for fiction)

    • Message clarity, argument strength, and narrative arc (for nonfiction)

    • Character development and emotional depth

    • Theme alignment and reader takeaway

  • Margin comments or tracked notes throughout the manuscript to guide revisions

  • Suggestions for restructuring, expanding, condensing, or removing sections

  • Clarity around your book’s core purpose, audience, and emotional resonance

  • A follow-up call or email exchange to debrief and guide next steps (optional)

This is for you if you’re still shaping your story, unsure what’s working, or need a professional eye on the big picture before polishing.

THE COPY EDIT

Price: $2500

Line-level refinement to elevate your voice, clarity, and consistency.

    • Sentence restructuring for clarity and readability

    • Tone, voice, and flow enhancements

    • Consistency with names, tenses, and timeline

    • Style guide or industry standard alignment (Chicago Manual, APA, etc.)

This is for you if your structure is solid, but your sentences need smoothing, tightening, and elevating.
