If you’ve written a book and you’d like someone to look over it and help you perfect it, you might be considering finding a developmental editor.

A developmental editor is a professional who provides editorial services that focus on a manuscript’s content, structure and/or organization. They help authors refine their manuscripts to make them as strong as they can be.

Here are some things to consider when deciding if you need a developmental editor:

Do you need help refining your content? A developmental editor can look at the structure of your work and help you craft the book into a well-rounded, compelling story. They can help you add depth and clarity to your characters and plot, or provide feedback for sections that may feel flat and lacking context or flow.
Do you need help organizing and restructuring your manuscript? A developmental editor can work with you to refine section headings, chapter titles, and keep your manuscript organized and consistent. They can provide feedback if there are inconsistencies in character/narrator details, or if certain plot points or themes don’t feel fully developed.
Do you need help with pacing? A developmental editor is also typically able to help with the overall flow and pacing of the book. They can help you decide if particular scenes or chapters need to be cut, if some should be combined, or if any new scenes need to be added in.

Overall, a developmental editor can provide the insight and guidance needed to refine and strengthen your manuscript. If you’re considering finding a developmental editor, it’s important to do some research and talk to potential editors. It’s helpful to ask them about their experience and approach, as well as any additional services they offer.
