developmental editing

Bijou Publications provides Developmental Editing to elevate and refine the core of your completed first draft.

Developmental Editing includes revisions and mark-ups that emphasize story structure, pacing, plot, character development, dialogue, and thematic cohesion, helping you transform your manuscript into a compelling, fully realized work.

Manuscript Evaluations offer a comprehensive assessment for completed drafts.
