There are many developmental editors that offer freelance services. These services can be found by searching online or through social media platforms.

The market for freelance developmental editor services is growing as more authors seek help with their writing projects. These services can be a great way for authors to get help with their writing, but it is important to choose a reputable service provider. There are a few things to consider when choosing a freelance developmental editor, such as their experience, rates, and turnaround time. Once you have found a few potential providers, it is important to ask for samples of their work and to get a sense of their editing style. Once you have found the right provider, you can expect to receive help with developing your writing project, including feedback on your plot, characters, and writing style.

I will perform developmental editing on your book

Many people don't know what is meant by a developmental editor.

This is because the word isn't always used to describe this task.

As with many jobs, the role of a developmental editor is often absorbed by other editors.

Whatever the title, the job of the DE is to shape the book or story.

Does the story make sense?
Does the pacing work?
Is there consistent POV?
Does the tense randomly change?
Do the characters make sense?
Do their names or attributes change for no reason?
Is there a conflict?
Are there too many/not enough characters?

A Developmental Editing service does NOT include Copy Editing. That's totally different.

Developmental editing will sniff out those tricky things that slip by a writer who has been staring at his or her own work for too long. Once a writer has hammered through a few drafts, it can be difficult to remember who did what and when or if they did it at all?

A developmental editor will flag scenes, characters, and more through the comment bubbles. There might be dozens of suggestions to strengthen and shape the work to its maximum potential.
