I offer a short, one-letter version of my Developmental Edit. Over the course of 1-2 weeks, I write a single Developmental Edit Letter of approximately 3,000-5,000 words discussing storytelling issues, the protagonist’s conflicting internal needs, optimum three-act plot design, cast of characters and prose issues—identifying specific ways in which to create the most powerful storytelling, along with techniques for polishing the work into publishable prose.
I calculate a Developmental Edit Letter by wordcount. A manuscript of @80,000 words takes approximately 26-28 hours.
