Development Editing
Editing fixes sentences. Development editing asks whether the right sentences are there. A subject-aware editor reviews your argument, evidence and structure the way a reviewer would.
What is included
- Review of argument and structure
- Gaps between claims and evidence
- Recommendations for re-ordering sections
- Reviewer-style comments throughout
What you receive
- Developmental report
- Annotated manuscript
- Revision roadmap
How we work
- Brief. You share your field, stage and goal. We confirm a matching specialist.
- Plan. We agree scope, timeline and checkpoints before work starts.
- Build with review. You see progress at each checkpoint and give feedback.
- Handover. You receive the files, a walkthrough and support for follow-up questions.
Common question
When should I choose this over copyediting?
Choose it when a draft exists but feels unconvincing, or after a rejection citing unclear contribution.
