We can help build a personalized team for your needs.
Piecing together the final elements of your biography’s first manuscript is as much a celebration as it is the beginning of a whole new writing journey: the developmental edit. After poring over reading materials for hours researching, you’re going to struggle viewing the bigger picture of your work objectively.
Developmental edits involve looking at the wider picture and identifying potential problems in your overall structure, pacing, and presentation of the people involved. Particularly when writing about real people and sensitive topics, hiring someone to check your work is a weight off your shoulders.
