Developmental Editing & Reviewing
In the initial stages of a project, a developmental edit can:
-
help you formulate your initial concept, outline, and/or draft; help organize your ideas, or other aspects of your work
-
suggest how to structure, write, or rewrite your text to fit your chosen genre or market
In the case of a more substantial or completed manuscript, a developmental review can:
-
provide an objective critique of the project as a whole
-
suggest improvements to the theme, voice, structure, organization, and/or language
-
identify gaps in content, describe needed content
-
suggest or rearrange blocks of text to improve flow
-
ensure consistent structure
-
advise on content that may not achieve the desired tone or focus
