A manuscript may undergo many rounds of revisions before it reaches its full potential. You can speed the process by working with an expert developmental editor who can guide your manuscript from beginning to end, by editing for organization, content, logic, clarity, tone and style.
A developmental edit is the systematic evaluation and holistic reworking of a book manuscript. A StyleMatters developmental editor can transform your draft manuscript into an engaging, logical and accessible presentation of your message that will captivate your target audience.
A developmental edit begins with an assessment of the manuscript you’ve already written, through which we identify areas requiring attention. After the initial assessment, we discuss recommended changes and actions with you. Together, we establish goals and determine a plan to move the book forward.
