Developmental Editing
Make a memorable impression...in a good way.
Developmental editing takes what you've already written and shows you how and where it can be improved. This one-on-one support provides guidance on how to get your ideas across more clearly and powerfully. Your message will be better positioned to be heard without embarrassing errors and inconsistencies to detract from your ideas and credibility.

- Suggesting fuller explanations and detail to enrich story with color and depth.
- Fine-tuning for consistency and emphasis in the writer’s voice.
- Ensuring the piece works as a whole and for its intended audience.
