FICTION DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

A great story is more than an interesting idea. It is a carefully crafted journey that invites readers to lose themselves in another world.

Whether you're writing contemporary fiction, literary fiction, romance, historical fiction, speculative fiction, or women's fiction, developmental editing helps ensure every scene, character, and plot point serves the story you're trying to tell.

Common challenges include:

• Weak story structure 
• Flat or inconsistent characters 
• Pacing issues 
• Plot holes 
• Unclear stakes 
• Scenes that don't advance the story 

As an award-winning developmental editor, I help authors strengthen the foundation of their stories while preserving their unique voice and vision. Together, we'll uncover what is working, identify what isn't, and create a roadmap for revision.

Let's discuss your manuscript.

"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, Amazon Bestseller
