Developmental Edit for Debut Novel
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
My debut fiction novel has reached its first-draft milestone, and now it needs a thorough developmental edit that goes well beyond basic proofreading. The manuscript is ready for a close read focused on polishing grammar, tightening clarity, and refining structure and flow while elevating the storytelling itself.
Key areas where I need your editorial insight are character development, plot consistency, and dialogue enhancement. In addition, I would value thoughtful feedback on the overall theme and message so the narrative lands with maximum impact.
To make this collaboration smooth, here’s what I expect:
• A fully marked-up manuscript with in-line edits and comments
• An editorial letter summarising strengths, weaknesses, and next-step recommendations
• Specific notes on pacing, scene transitions, and any sections that feel under- or over-developed
Please feel free to use Track Changes (Word or Google Docs) or another comparable tool so I can follow every suggestion easily. Accuracy, candour, and a constructive tone are essential—I’m a first-time author eager to learn from the feedback. Let me know your typical turnaround time and any questions you have about the draft, and we can get started.
