“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.”

- Arthur Plotnik

  • Outline Review

    Are you at the outline stage of writing your novel? Want a structural review to ensure that you have a story before you begin writing? If so, an outline review is for you.

  • Manuscript Assessment

    Do you have a manuscript written? Are you looking to have a high-level, birds-eye-view of your novel to ensure you have a story and your novel is structurally sound? Are you not interested in line-by-line edits? Then a manuscript assessment may be right for you.

  • Developmental Edit

    Do you have a manuscript written? Are you looking for an in-depth edit, often referred to as a developmental edit, substantive edit, or story edit? Like the manuscript assessment, this does not include copyediting or proofreading, but unlike the manuscript assessment, it does include line-by-line comments and notes on each and every scene. This is the ultimate edit in terms of seeing both the big picture and the scene-level of your story. It’s the micro level on a macro scale
