Developmental Coaching
Developmental Coaching Package
If you would like your novel developmentally edited, but the format of in-manuscript comments plus editorial report does not work for you, then we can work through the feedback via coaching instead.
Developmental editing involves looking at the 'big picture' view of your plot and character arcs, and the overall reading experience of your manuscript. This includes looking at and working through the following:
-
Characters and character arcs
-
Plot development and potential plot holes
-
Story structure and pacing
-
Tense and narrative viewpoint
-
Consistency of world-building
-
Target audience
-
Overall writing style
Sessions
Introductory session
Session One
Session Two
Session Three
Session Four
Summary / recap session
All sessions are one hour long. After the introductory session, I will read the entire manuscript in full to get an overview of the story. I will then carry out a more in-depth review of sections of the manuscript before each session and work through the feedback with you.
Additional blocks of six sessions can be added later as needed.
Price
Price will depend on the manuscript's word count, complexity, and the number of sessions needed to work through the developmental feedback together.
