Here’s what clients have said about our developmental editing work:
“Your comments and notes were so meaningful to me, beyond my expectations. Your developmental editing work is unrivaled. Thank you so much!”
— Marianne, author of a historical fiction novel
“There are stories, and then there are stories well told. Anybody can write a story, but I also believe anybody can write a story well told as long as he or she is committed. In that sense, developmental editing broadened my view of what my manuscript could become.
While many creative writers fear that an editor will change their ideas, my experience has been that editors make the best writing teachers. My teacher, as I fondly called my editor, was not intrusive. She understood that my project was my baby, and her editorial letter gave me a professional perspective on what stage my draft was in. She gave me many suggestions on how to build my characters and plotlines to make them their best. I made all the final decisions, and continued conversations with my teacher have helped me tighten my draft even further since.”
— S.P., author of a three-part romance series
“The analysis in Brianna’s editorial letter was comprehensive and thoughtful. It provided a solid basis for some surgical restructuring of the manuscript. Her marginal comments in the draft were equally helpful. They not only pinpointed issues but also gave guidance as to revisions. As conducted by Brianna, the developmental editing process has been a positive milestone in preparation of the book.”
— John, lawyer

Your ghostwriter could be David (if your text has Christian themes and/or references), Russell (who has worked on a few memoirs for pro poker players), Susanne (she wrote the book on memoir writing; see above), Sue (an expert at positioning little-known people for higher political office), or one of about 45 other people, based on your project’s unique needs. That said, every project starts in the same way: interviews led by one of our phenomenal interviewers.
