Developmental Editing
Developmental editing works on the level of ideas and architecture. We look at what the piece is really arguing, whether the structure supports that argument, where the reader gets lost, and what needs to be added, cut, or moved. This is the editing that makes the difference between a draft that's almost there and one that is ready to send out — for BA, MA and PhD theses, book manuscripts, and grant applications.
For: Theses, book manuscripts, and grant applications that need structural work.
