Developmental is the deepest type of editing. It requires slow, thoughtful reading with detailed notes, as well as time to evaluate and think through any issues. My developmental edit service also includes an additional read through after you’ve made any suggested changes. This is helpful to ensure that nothing’s been overlooked during the process of reworking your story.
