What’s Included in the Guided Developmental Edit
Step 1: Comprehensive Close-Read of Your Manuscript
Your editor will conduct a detailed, page-by-page close-read, focusing on the five core elements of fiction—plot, scene, character, setting, and dialogue. Every aspect of your manuscript is thoroughly reviewed, with notes, ideas, and suggestions to bring out your story’s best potential. For an 80,000-115,000 word manuscript, the close-read typically takes 4 weeks, ensuring every section of your novel is examined with care.
Step 2: In-Depth Feedback and Detailed Notes
Following the close-read, you’ll receive an extensive set of notes—often up to 20 pages—highlighting insights and actionable suggestions to elevate your story. You’ll have a week to review and process the feedback before discussing it in-depth with your editor.
Step 3: One-on-One Editorial Meeting
Once you’ve reviewed the notes, you’ll meet with your editor in a private Google Meet session to discuss the feedback in detail. This collaborative meeting is designed to address your questions, clarify suggestions, and provide you with the confidence to implement revisions. Expect a focused conversation about how best to integrate changes into your manuscript.
Ongoing Support
Even after your meeting, your editor remains available to answer follow-up questions and provide additional guidance as you make revisions, ensuring you feel supported throughout the final stages.
Flexible Payment Options
To make this in-depth service more accessible, we offer two payment options:
Full Payment: $15 per manuscript page, paid upfront. 10% discount for first-time clients.
Installment Plan: 3 monthly installments with an additional 5% processing fee. (E.g., $1,250 per installment for a 250-page manuscript).
