A developmental edit is used when the author feels the manuscript requires a major rewrite but needs help pinpointing the exact areas that need improvement. I work closely with the author to make sure the manuscript gets completely fleshed out in terms of plot and character development.
This includes:
◊ a ten-page sample edit
◊ a substantive edit
◊ three Skype calls, if necessary
◊ two read-throughs of original manuscript
◊ a light edit after rewrites (maximum two rewrites)
