Developmental Edit
Developmental Editing is what really makes a story shine. This is deeper than making sure a comma is in the right place, or that you used the correct form of there/their/they’re.
You are a storyteller. You want to make sure your reader is picking up what you’re putting down. Do they sympathize with your hero or hate your villain? Is your setting so real it feels like a place you can visit? Does your plot grab the reader, and satisfy their need for a good story?
