Full Developmental Edit

Don’t take it from me.

Explore some of the amazing authors I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

  • I got specific feedback on how to improve the book, a mix of praise and constructive criticism, and bonus - outside resources to reference.

    Heather L.

  • My experience was great! Victoria's feedback was very encouraging and helpful. She was very specific with examples or questions to help me show what my character is doing or thinking rather than telling. Using her feedback will improve my novel even more! I'm very excited!

    Fleur S.

  • I see that I chose the right person for this job! Your suggestions and insights are terrific. Just the kind of thing that I’m looking for, especially your suggestion of introducing Reign before Cuny

    Frederick R.

  • It comes down to budget. Both edits will provide high quality feedback. However a full developmental edit can go deeper into the story with in-line comments.

  • Yes! Pay in full or payment plans are available.

    The basic: $100 secures your space and we can split the remainder into two payments of $198.50.

    Full DE:
    $100 secures your space and I will edit your book in 10-20K sections. After each section you'll receive an invoice. You can spread out your book over a few months if that works best.

  • Like all art developmental editing is also subjective. My goal with your novel is to maintain the integrity and authenticity of your voice. I look at the big picture of the story from the perspective of a reader. Do the characters feel flat? Are there plot holes? How is the pacing? Is there too much telling etc?

    From there I'll offer suggestions/ examples based on the mechanics of storytelling to help you make the story SHINE.

  • Sorry that is out of scope. I can help you make sure your chosen genre fits into what is selling. Though that doesn't guarantee it will be picked up by an agent.

    Remember it's about the long game, Just become you get a no doesn't mean your novel is bad.
