Hire the best developmental editors in Dublin


What exactly is a developmental edit, you might be wondering? The developmental edit is perhaps the most critical stage of editing that your book will go through. A good developmental editor will help you fix the "big picture" problems in your book, including your plot holes, character arcs, and pacing. So don't make the same mistake as many new authors by underestimating the power of collaborating with a developmental editor. It's the one type of edit that cannot be replaced by an app, for what technological algorithms lack is the expert human eye.


And that's exactly what we provide with our developmental editors in Dublin. If you're looking for a developmental editor to perfect your manuscript, look no further — Reedsy is home to the best publishing professionals in the world. You'll be able to find developmental editors who have worked with everyone from George R.R. Martin to Neil Gaiman on our marketplace.
