Developmental Editor Oakland
Developmental editors are miracle-workers that can turn good books into bestsellers. Rather than editing your prose, they dive into the complex issues of your book, from the flow of the plot to the many facets of the characters. They help you spot and eliminate plot holes, inconsistencies, and improper pacing, asking you tough questions about the character development and structure, so as to revise and improve everything, helping you create a masterpiece. If you’re worried that developmental editors will somehow take your creation from you, then don’t: an excellent editor will know how to collaborate with the author to reshape a novel without losing sight of its essence
Our developmental editors from Oakland are not all business — they value an author’s work, which is why they put maintaining a good relationship with authors on the top of their to-do list. Once they get to know your vision, they’ll offer all the narrative advice they’ve accumulated over the years to help you produce the best version of your work.
