Book Editor Austin
So you’ve just written “THE END” and put the finishing touches on your book-to-be. Congratulations! Now what?
Well, now it’s time for the editing to begin. Every editing round must begin with the developmental edit: a systematic examination of all of the “big picture” elements of your manuscript, including the plot, characters, setting, and theme. As you can imagine, this kind of an edit is absolutely critical if your goal is to produce a great, compulsively readable book that can match the traditionally-published books on bookshelves.
That said, developmental edits can become expensive, simply because they’re so thorough — which is where an editorial assessment comes in. To put it simply, an editorial assessment is a condensed report that a professional editor compiles after reading your story, full of detailed notes on the areas in which your story can improve.
