Developmental edit

$0.040 - $0.055 / word
For a 60,000-word manuscript: $2400 - $3300

You have a full draft, but the book is not quite itself yet.

This edit focuses on sharpening purpose and assembling the building blocks of your story. My comments will discuss plot, setting, themes, character arcs, point of view, and pacing.
