Writer Vivien Cooper

Developmental Editing
You did it! You've finished writing a draft of your story. Or, maybe you have a have finished manuscript and need help developing it. Now, if you're ready to turn it over to a pro developmental editor, you can count on me.
You know that at it's core, your writing is good. You also know that it isn't quite coming together right. It's just not flowing. Or, maybe AI produced the draft for you but stripped it of its humanity and your voice.
That's where I come in.
Think of developmental editing as word surgery--or auto mechanics. All the elements are there, all the parts. They just need to be reassembled in such a way that allows the writing to reach its highest potential.

How it works...

  • With developmental editing, you submit the manuscript draft you wrote.
  • I review it for you, and discuss the issues with you.
  • Then I "developmentally" edit the document and polish it up for publication. In addition to being a skilled, experienced book writer, I am a natural-born editor. A "Developmental Editor." I have the innate ability to uncover, discover, and understand what needs to be done to a manuscript to develop and elevate it to its highest potential, so it can truly shine.
  • I will review the manuscript, address any structure issues, and revise, edit, and polish it. Expertly. Sensitively. Without losing your writing voice or your intentions for the manuscript.
  • When I'm done polishing your manuscript, it will be all you have hoped and dreamed it could be. It will be ready for publication! Or posting or sharing.
