Developmental editing is a thorough and in-depth review of your entire manuscript, teleplay or screenplay. It examines all the elements of your writing, from individual words and sentences to overall structure and style. In fiction, this edit will also address any issues related to plot and characterization. Good developmental editing will keep your target audience in mind and assess your work in relation to industry standards and expectations.
