FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and line editing?
Developmental editing focuses on big-picture story elements: plot structure, pacing, character development, and world-building. Line editing focuses on sentence-level flow, grammar, and tone.
What genres do you specialize in for developmental editing?
I specialize in thrillers, mysteries, crime fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, LitRPG, and speculative fiction.
What does the Editorial Reader Report include?
The report covers plot structure, pacing analysis, character arc evaluations, world-building consistency, dialogue effectiveness, and actionable rewrite recommendations.
Will you rewrite my sentences during a developmental edit?
No. Developmental editing addresses structural story mechanics. I leave detailed inline margin notes and suggestions, but you retain full creative control over rewrites.
How are the margin comments delivered?
All margin notes and structural comments are embedded directly inside your Microsoft Word document using standard Track Changes / Comments.
Can I ask questions after receiving my delivery?
Absolutely! Premium packages include follow-up consultation in the inbox so we can discuss the editorial feedback and brainstorming next steps.

Yes, 100%. Your intellectual property, world-building notes, and plot details remain strictly confidential and secure.
