What's the difference between developmental editing and copyediting?
Developmental editing addresses story structure, pacing, and character development at a big-picture level. Copyediting focuses on grammar, consistency, and language polish once the structure is already solid.
How much does editing cost?
Developmental Editing ranges $3,000–$8,000, Copyediting $1,500–$4,000, Manuscript Evaluation $1,000–$2,500, Proofreading $800–$2,000, and Book Formatting $500–$1,500 — depending on manuscript length and complexity.
Do I need developmental editing if my manuscript is already drafted?
Not necessarily. If your structure and pacing already work well, you may only need copyediting and proofreading. A manuscript evaluation is a low-cost way to find out which level your draft actually needs.
Will editing change my voice?
No. Editing is meant to sharpen your existing voice and story, not replace it. Structural and language changes are proposed for your approval, not applied without your input.
