Service Offered
Developmental Editing
Editing with a focus on the structure and content of your work. Gessy uses a collaborative approach taking into consideration the author’s stylistic intentions, and offering thoughtful recommendations. Written critiques may be challenging, but the goal is to help the writer make the best possible work. Here are some sample questions addressed in a typical critique: What is this work about? Who is it for? What’s the best way to structure the work? What needs to be included? What needs to be left out? Some big-picture things addressed in the critique include: structure, pacing, theme, and plot.
