Now that you have really found the flow of your storyline, you now need a deeper look on big picture elements of your manuscript. I check for accuracy, consistency, plot holes, and quality of the storyline, structure, and characters to keep readers engaged.

Service includes a full report outlining all of my recommendations, as well as any comments I make throughout your manuscript.

The report is double-spaced and is anywhere from 10-20+ pages.

Items to expect on Dev Edit Report:

- Chapter by Chapter recommendations/suggestions/outlying questions

-Overall thoughts and big picture items that need to be adjusted

-Thoughts on Pacing as well as a breakdown of Chapter Page Counts

-Character ARC suggestions on where to build for each character

-Thoughts on Settings

-Trope, Micro Trope, and Trigger Warning Assessments

-Favorite Quotes Section

Service does NOT include high level analytics or in-depth in-line feedback (does have comments but most are in report). I am open to brainstorming after the report is sent back to author via texts/messages.
