Editing

There are many degrees and levels of editing an author can benefit from to increase the quality and maturity of their manuscript. The names and descriptions vary from editor to editor.

KatiBookLady provides developmental editing services (for more on proofreading and copyediting services, click here). 

If you need someone to look at your manuscript from the 30,000-foot level, this is the service for you. This is valuable early on in the writing process and any time you are struggling with the structure of the story. 

These are some of the things KatiBookLady focuses on when providing feedback through a developmental edit:

• Identifying plot holes

• Recognizing flat characters

• Clarifying confusing scenes

• Pinpointing clarity or flow issues

• Noticing excess or lack of tension

• Highlighting unclear character motivations

• Spotlighting what is working well (it's not all bad feedback!)
