Do you love your book, but it is not quite reaching the heights you need it to reach?

You are getting feedback from people, and they really like it, but…

Do you have plot holes you have been staring at for months now, but are not entirely sure how to connect them?

Hi! My name is Alicia Jeanne, and I am a Developmental Editor! I want to help you fix all of the above and more! Not only have I published two books of my own, with plans to publish many more, but I am also an expert on multiple genres of books and have read thousands of books in my lifetime.

How does Developmental Editing work?

It starts with a conversation, which is the easiest part of the process. We set up a zoom call (or something similar) and talk about your book and the goals you have for it. Once I have a better understanding of your goals and ideas, you send me an up to 3,000 word sample of your book, and I will give you a sample of my developmental editing style so you can make sure our styles mesh well.

Once you review the edits I send back to you, we sign a contract, and you send your manuscript to me. It will take me some time to get the first round of developmental edits to you (at minimum a month) and then I send them back to you.

Now for the scary part, what the developmental edits will look like! You may open your word document, see all of the comments and adjustments, and want to immediately close the document to never look at it again! I promise you, it does not mean I think your book is bad! All those comments, questions, and concerns are me pushing you to write the best book you possibly can, and I PROMISE you, once we are finished with our process, you will be even more impressed and proud of your book!

Pricing and Contract

The starting price for my developmental editing services start at $0.02 cents per word, and depending on the complexity of the project will go up from there.

In addition to getting an upfront quote for your book, you will also get a contract signed by both of us! The contract will ALWAYS include an NDA as well as an Anti AI statement. You will never have to worry about me selling your story, your story idea, or uploading it into an AI server.

I am looking forward to talking to you and cannot wait for the opportunity to help you take your book from amazing to astounding!
