Developmental Editing

26-week intensive to get you a working first draft

Transform Your Story with Professional Developmental Editing

Having collaborated with professional editors on my own writing, I’ve gained a deep understanding of story structure and the craft of writing compelling scenes. This experience led me to train in Story Grid methods and join the Institute of Professional Editors as an Associate. My passion for structural editing and scene writing can help you develop the skills needed to complete a working first draft in just six months.

Who Can Benefit from Developmental Editing?

Developmental Editing is ideal if you find yourself:

• With a story idea but no complete draft.
• Unsure where to start with your story idea.
• Stuck in a story that isn’t working.
• Halfway through a draft and needing help to finish.
• Wanting to learn how to write a story without spending years on trial and error.
• Lacking confidence or full of self-doubt.

What is Developmental Editing?

Developmental Editing focuses on the story as a whole, examining its structure and evaluating its effectiveness. It ensures the ‘spine’ of your story works from the initial draft through to the final version.
