Developmental editing

Manuscript assessment

USD 450

Indicative package price. The final amount, currency and any milestones are confirmed on your invoice.

Up to 90,000 words

For writers with a complete draft who want an expert view of what works and what to fix before paying for a full edit. We read the whole manuscript, write an editorial letter on structure, pacing, character or argument, and genre fit, then talk it through with you on a call. There are no in-line edits, which is why it costs less than a developmental edit.

  • Full read of the manuscript
  • Editorial letter (typically 6–10 pages)
  • 30-minute follow-up call
  • Not included: In-line edits

Turnaround: 2–3 weeks, starting once payment and the manuscript are received

Payment: Invoiced in full once we've confirmed the scope. Work starts when payment has arrived.

Prices are set in USD. Other currencies are estimates using the European Central Bank reference rate of 26 October 2026. The final amount and payment currency are confirmed on your invoice; showing a currency here doesn't mean payment can already be made in it.

Optional. If you'd like a WhatsApp reply, include your country code (e.g. +234, +44, +1). We never message automatically.

Just enough for us to confirm the package suits your project.

We'll confirm on the invoice which currencies we can accept for your payment.
