Development Edit
A comprehensive edit that provides a detailed editorial letter covering broad elements of your manuscript including style, plot, structure, voice and characterisation, and tracked suggestions on the manuscript itself. These will give specific feedback on the nitty gritty of your writing, covering elements such as suggestions to improve word choice, sentence structure, dialogue, and consistency. Edits are followed by a 1-hour video call where we can discuss the editorial notes, or anything else publishing-related you choose.
Manuscript Assessment
A broad overview of your manuscript discussing elements including plot, structure, style, voice and characterisation, given in a detailed editorial letter of 6-10 pages. Edits are followed by a 1-hour video call where we can discuss the editorial notes, or anything else publishing-related you choose.
Line Edit
A line-by-line check on your manuscript covering elements such as word choice, phrasing, dialogue, consistency and pace. Edits are followed by a 1-hour video call where we can discuss the editorial notes, or anything else publishing-related you choose.
Proofread
This is the final stage of editing and is designed to make sure no stray typos get through before publication. I'd send your manuscript back with the errors marked up in track changes, along with a style sheet detailing style/spelling options used in the manuscript.
Query Package Assessment
A thorough check at your query letter and synopsis, including feedback focusing on pace and clarity. I’d also proofread the first 10,000 words of your manuscript.
