You have a draft. Maybe it's done, maybe it's close. You've been told it's good, or you suspect it isn't, or you genuinely can't tell anymore. What you need is someone to read the whole thing and tell you what's actually on the page: what's working, what isn't, and what your story still needs.

​

That's a developmental edit. It's the big-picture read, before line editing and copyediting. It looks at how your book is put together — what the structure is doing, what the form is doing, what the story is doing — so you can decide where to take it next.

 

I'm Erin Rice. I'll read your manuscript in full and send it back with observations throughout, along with a chapter-by-chapter map of your story as it stands, and a letter that gives you a clear path into your next draft.

​

I'm trained in Story Design through Rance Greene's Need A Story program and hold a certificate in Developmental Editing from the Editorial Arts Academy.
