Developmental editing

Developmental editing is a comprehensive process that focuses on the overall structure and content of a manuscript. We examine elements such as narrative structure, overall flow and argumentation. Your editor will work closely with you to enhance clarity, coherence, and engagement. Through feedback and constructive suggestions, we refine the structure of your manuscript to prepare it for line editing.

How we develop your manuscript

  • Structure and organize your ideas

    We work with you to refine the structure and flow of your ideas, ensuring they’re logically organized and easy to follow. Each section is refined to contribute to your overall message.

  • Clarify arguments and themes

    Our editors dive into the heart of your work to clarify and amplify core arguments or themes. By enhancing your message, we make sure it resonates with your audience.

  • Strengthen voice and tone

    We collaborate with you to develop a consistent voice and tone that matches your intent and audience, helping to reinforce your unique style throughout the document.

  • Refine for impact and relevance

    We assess each section of your document to identify areas that need expansion or contraction, maximizing the impact and relevance of your writing, whatever your audience.

  • Create cohesion across sections

    Our approach ensures each part of your work connects seamlessly to the next, guiding readers naturally from one section to the next to build a cohesive narrative or argument.

  • Constructive feedback

    Beyond edits, we provide constructive feedback to help you think through ideas, fill any content gaps, and consider new angles, supporting the creation of an impactful final draft.
