DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

Bring out the best writer in you.

If you have a high school degree, you know how to write. But how many of us know how to write so that people will keep reading? How many of us can write compelling and engaging sentences—let alone whole books! We help writers create work that pulls readers from beginning to end.

Have you ever started reading a book and your eyes glossed over? Have you ever clicked out of an article after just one paragraph?

In an age saturated with college degrees and internet writing, it’s tempting to think that everyone and anyone can write. And while, yes, most people can write to express their ideas, how many convey those ideas in a manner that keeps readers interested? How many can write in a way that actually moves their readers?

We work with writers to bring their writing from information dumps to compelling narratives. From unconnected abstract ideas to grab-you-by-the-jugular prose, pulling readers from one idea to the next.

Whether you have a manuscript and are getting publisher rejections, or you don’t even know where to start, we’ll work with you to help craft works that leave readers wanting more.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

Dev editing (as goes the lingo) is intended for writers who have manuscripts but feel (or know) something is missing. We help writers understand and hone everything from structure to dialogue to narrative. We look at the work as whole—both content and form—and help the writer give their thoughts and idea engaging form.

WRITING COACHING

Perhaps you have the idea and the content but have difficulty suiting your article’s language to match the needs of a certain publication. Or perhaps you have a blog and want to make your writing sharper and more engaging. Or maybe you have a short story you want to submit to journals. We offer fast turnaround on short pieces and edit your work to suit your specific needs.

ABOUT

We have decades of experience working with writers of all caliber. From amateur hobbyists to professionals, our writers have run the gamut. We’ve worked with each—individually and carefully—to make sure their writing is compelling, no matter who their intended audience is.

We offer developmental editing and writing coaching at an hourly rate of $75–100/hour, depending on the scope of the project / length of commitment.
