–DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING –
“Plan to NOT Run into Problems”
Developmental editing involves a great deal of coaching and goal calibration. Just like you can’t expect to run a race without proper training and preparation, you shouldn’t expect your book to be a success without proper development. Don’t stumble across the finish line while medals are being awarded to others. Set out to “be done” or “just have fun,” and you’ll never look back on having WON.
And yes, our services do include a decent dose of motivation.
