Frequently Asked Questions

What is developmental editing and how does it differ from other types of editing?
Developmental editing is a comprehensive form of editing that focuses on the big-picture elements of a manuscript, such as structure, plot, character development, pacing, and overall coherence. Unlike copyediting or proofreading, which concentrate on grammar, spelling, and punctuation, developmental editing helps to shape the manuscript's content and ensures it aligns with the intended audience and purpose.
What can I expect from the Manuscript Mentor service?

With Manuscript Mentor, you can expect a thorough review of your manuscript, including feedback on structure, plot, character development, pacing, and overall coherence. Our service also includes line editing to refine style, sentence structure, clarity, and flow. You'll receive detailed notes and suggestions to help you improve and polish your manuscript. I'll keep you accountable to deadlines and your goals as you work towards publishing. 

How long does the developmental editing process take?
The timeline for developmental editing varies depending on the length and complexity of the manuscript. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. During our initial consultation, we will provide a more specific timeframe based on your manuscript's unique needs.
Do you offer editing services for all genres?

Yes, I offer editing services for a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, academic works, and more. I have diverse expertise to cater to various writing styles and genres because of my background in STEM and passion in creative writing. 

But, I would never take on a role I felt I was not suited for and will be open with any potential client if I feel I am not the best option. 

What qualifications does your editor have?
I am a highly qualified professional with extensive experience in the publishing industry. Not only have I been writing for over a decade, I have taken courses that led me through the publishing process from start to finish, and have a proven track record of successfully editing and improving manuscripts.
