I specialize in developmental editing, for novels and memoir, which means I focus on the overall big picture, looking at things like plot; structure; arc; exposition; character-development; logic issues; pace; dialogue; etc. This includes marks on the pages and a detailed letter covering what worked, what didn't, why, and the path forward.
