Developmental editing

Working with you to ensure your text meets the needs of your audience.

What are your goals for your text? A developmental edit involves looking at your text to see whether it does what you want it to do. I produce a short report, making recommendations in areas such as structure, clarity and flow. If needed I can produce a more detailed assessment of the manuscript to help you develop your work for your readers. This service may include comments on sentence-level style but does not include any detailed, sentence-level editing.

“It has been a huge pleasure working with Jane on this. Her encouraging and appreciative style coupled with her insightful comments and ideas really inspired me.” 
Joan van den Brink, author, responding to a developmental edit
