EDITORIAL REPORT

What is an editorial report?

An editorial report is a lite version of a full developmental edit. It's for when you want to check that the core components of your story (namely the pacing, plot, character development and structure) are all working. The report should provide you with valuable insight into how you can take your novel to the next level and get it ready for querying to agents or for further editing.

​

What is the process?

The first step of an editorial report is for me to read your full manuscript and make notes on which elements are strong and which need further attention. I then compile a report that highlights what is working well with the story and what improvements you can make going forward, giving examples where possible.

​​

Unlike full developmental editing, an editorial report does not include any copy-editing or in-line comments, nor does it focus too much on the writing mechanics (spelling, grammar, formatting and punctuation).

 

It also does not include a 1-hour post-report call as standard, although you can choose to add this on for an additional £35.

​

What does it cost?

50k–70k words = £595

71k–90k words = £765

91k–110k words = £935

111k–130k words = £1105

​

For anything shorter than 50k or longer than 130k, drop me an email and I can provide a quote.
