Developing Your Novel is as
Easy as 1, 2, or 3!
1
Book Overview
I read the book in its entirety. Afterward, I provide an overview highlighting the positives and potential issues I've found in the manuscript.
Ideally for:
-
First drafts that need help before going through the next round of edits.
-
Experienced authors that are interested in only any major issues that they may have missed.
2
Chapter by Chapter
As I read through your novel, I provide impressions, insights, praise, and constructive critiques after each chapter. This allows perspective on your novel as it unfolds, making sure what you intend makes it on the page.
Ideally for:
-
Books that have gone through several rounds of self-edits and want a critical eye before handing it off for copy edits.
-
Writing as you go feedback.
3
Deep Dive
I go through your novel, line by line, highlighting any issues as I find them as well as positive impressions. It's always important to know what is working as much as what could use some improvements. This package includes suggestions on how any issues I come across can be addressed.
Ideally for:
-
First time authors
-
Those looking to improve their writing.
My Mission
A Novel Development understands that authors have different needs at different stages of their writing journey. That's why I provide various à la carte services, as well as different levels of feedback. This way authors get the help they need when they need it.
I reserve my services for fictional works, because stories are my passion. They offer readers a chance to experience the world with new eyes, and I want to use my strengths to help authors craft the stories only they can tell.
