how it works:

1. You request the developmental editing service. We sign the project contract and you deliver your manuscript draft to me.

2. I perform a manuscript evaluation on your draft and return it to you.

3. You revise your manuscript based on the suggestions in the manuscript evaluation and return the revised manuscript to me.

4. I perform a thorough developmental line editing pass on your revised manuscript and return it to you.

5. You revise your manuscript based on the line editing pass and return it to me.

6. I perform a copyediting pass on any changes you made in the previous pass and return it to you.

7. When you have made any needed revisions following the second editing pass, we can do the final optional proofreading pass.
