Developmental editing (two rounds): booking fee

£100.00

Developmental Editing (two rounds)

This editing stage concentrates on the project's big-picture arc, and drills down into specific areas, like:

  • Fiction: themes, plot, character development, pace, positioning, structure

  • Non-fiction: argument, organisation, tone, audience engagement, positioning/target audience

Stage One: I'd write a report on these areas, and in addition I’d mark up the MS with queries and comments as I went through.

Stage Two: when you have revised the MS, I will do one round of assessment, reviewing your changes and giving you feedback.

Price:

  • from £27 per 1,000 words

  • final price to be confirmed after I have assessed sample material; I’m happy to do this before you commit to booking / paying the booking fee

Payment stages:

  • £100 booking fee to schedule the project

  • the remaining balance split half on project commencement (stage one) and half on completion (stage one), to be paid by bank transfer. The project will be returned to you following receipt of the final payment.

Overseas clients

I’m very happy to accept work from clients who live outside the UK.  In order to ensure the payment received matches the fee exactly, I recommend using my Wise business account. (Wise is typically cheaper than traditional banks, especially for international transfers, and it’s a very transparent service.)
