Developmental Editing

Hands-on help conceiving, planning, researching, drafting, fleshing out details, rethinking, reorganizing, strengthening and polishing your work.

The process requires us to establish trust and a unique way of collaborating as well as a spirit of experimentation, a willingness to make mistakes and the fresh discoveries that come with them. It can be slow and messy and, at least in the beginning, may not be possible over the internet. The payoffs are that the words are yours, the voice is yours and you come out of it a better writer.
