Developmental Editing

Sean Marie Bell, Shaundale Rena, Developmental Editor, Black Editor, Freelance Editor, Stony Rhodes

Varies by word count

You can have the best-written story that makes absolutely no sense. There, I said it. A copyeditor cannot fix that. If you're here, welcome!

Imagine writing your final draft and getting it into the hands of a few good friends or professional colleagues, only to find out there are holes in the story or the content is all over the place. If they're not honest, you might celebrate your success and head to the printer. If they are, you may throw it in the trash or file it away for years to come. Before you do either, why not let me take a look at your manuscript? 


Developmental editing includes:


  • A well-crafted multi-page editorial letter deeply covering global issues, such as content, structure, clarity, flow, voice, tone, and pace. Also includes setting, plot, and characterization (fiction). 
  • Comments, suggestions, and examples within the margin of your work.
  • Recommendations for bridging together ideas and filling in missing components.
  • A virtual coaching call to discuss how, when, where, and why you should incorporate suggested changes in your mauscript. 
  • Ongoing e-mail correspondence and support.
  • A review of your author bio and back cover synopsis.


Your writing should contain a rhythm and  balance that moves the message along with as much clarity as possible. Let's if your story passes the test.

"Among the many things I appreciate about working with Shaundale on this project (beyond how she strengthened the story) is how she affirmed my writing ability and the authenticity of the book. Working with her was a delight. Down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and she knows her stuff!" Trent D. Walters
