Developmental editing is at the core of making a good writer great.
For many years I wrote dull, go-nowhere stories, until…. I began to reverse engineer my writing process.
That was right after I got some really good advice from a writer and editor friend.
From that point on, I could see my writing improve every few months.
The more I looked at my work from the 4 necessary points of view, the better my writing became.
I will do that with your manuscript as well, along with asking a lot of questions.
The questions are designed to get you thinking about your writing like your reader.
That’s a tricky thing.
If you can do that, everything else gets easier after that.
The developmental editing report is based on the concept of reverse engineering your writing, as well as, tapping into your critical thinking skills to improve your work.
I do this with a series of questions that are partly based on my years of experience as a writer and editor and part on the Socratic Questioning Method.
