Tier 2: Branch – Full Line & Light Developmental Editing

For manuscripts 101–200 pages (up to 50,000 words)

Full Line + Light Developmental Editing

• Line Editing:
  Every sentence is reviewed for:

  • Grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors

  • Clarity, flow, and sentence structure

  • Redundancies, awkward phrasing, and wordiness

  • Stylistic consistency (e.g., tense, voice, tone)

• Light Developmental Editing:
  Focused, high-level content notes such as:

  • Gaps in logic, unclear character motivation, or confusing plot points

  • Suggestions to strengthen narrative cohesion or character arcs

  • Pacing feedback—where the story drags or moves too fast

  • Consistency in tone, setting, and voice across chapters

This is not a full rewrite or deep structural overhaul, but enough to guide you through meaningful improvements.

Chapter-by-Chapter Feedback Outline

You’ll receive a structured outline with:

• Brief notes for each chapter, highlighting what’s working and what could improve

• Suggestions for scene trims, expansions, or reordering

• Recurring themes or issues across chapters (e.g., passive voice, character flatness, etc.)

This document becomes your roadmap for revision after the edits.
