Developmental Editing Rates

Developmental editing is a process that addresses your manuscript on many levels. Unlike rewriting or ghostwriting, developmental editing allows the author to write and rewrite the manuscript with the help of a professional writer. The Inspire Literary Group’s developmental editing service includes strategic consultation along with a detailed analysis of the manuscript. The editor will work closely with you to revise and edit the manuscript to ensure the book is well written and compelling.
