Development
Manuscript Development is a developmental editing service. It takes the document as a whole and seeks to fortify its argument for clarity and cohesion. When evaluating the strength of the argument I focus on its structure, narrative flow, use of evidence, and tone. This service is best for book manuscripts, article manuscripts, and dissertation-to-book conversions.
Read more about what you can expect with developmental editing on my Substack newsletter, Eloqio, and at Jane Friedman’s blog.
