Manuscript Assessments
The truth is, every great story needs a little extra shaping to shine. Whether it’s raising the stakes, refining your characters, or weaving a stronger emotional thread through the narrative, these are the elements that turn a good story into an unforgettable one. But figuring out how to fix these issues on your own? That’s where things get tricky.
Is Your Story Falling Short of Its True Potential?
You’ve written a story you love, but something doesn’t feel quite right. Are the stakes not high enough to keep readers invested, is the world you built not leaping off the page, or your characters don’t feel as vivid as they should? You’ve worked hard to bring your vision to life, but now you’re second-guessing everything. Will readers keep turning the pages, eager to know what happens next? Or will they lose interest before they’ve truly stepped into your world?

How can developmental editing help your manuscript?
Strengthening the Narrative Structure
Developmental editing helps identify weaknesses in your story’s structure, such as pacing issues, plot holes, or inconsistencies. This ensures your story flows smoothly and keeps readers engaged from start to finish.
Enhancing Character Development
By analysing your characters’ arcs, motivations, and relationships, a developmental edit ensures your characters are compelling and relatable and contribute meaningfully to the overall story.
Clarifying Themes and Messages
A developmental editor helps refine the central themes and messages of your story, ensuring they resonate clearly with your audience while staying true to your vision.
Maximising Reader Impact
Through big-picture feedback, a developmental edit sharpens the emotional and intellectual impact of your manuscript, ensuring it leaves a lasting impression on readers and fulfils its potential.
Improving World-Building and Setting
Developmental editing ensures your world-building is immersive and consistent, whether it’s a fantasy realm, historical backdrop, or contemporary setting, allowing readers to fully experience and believe in the story’s environment.
Refining Story Goals and Stakes
A developmental editor helps clarify your story’s goals and heighten the stakes, ensuring the tension and conflict keep readers invested in the outcome and rooting for your characters.
