Everyone has a story… Craft yours with confidence
Your manuscript is more than words; it’s an entire world that you created. But sometimes, it’s hard to see what your story needs when you are so deep inside it. Our Developmental Edit gives you the big-picture feedback and coaching you need to bring it to life and take it to the next level.
Book Your Developmental EditWhy Developmental Editing?
You’ve poured your heart into your draft, but something feels off. You know it’s not quite ready for alpha/beta readers, agents, or competitions.
 The pacing drags, or the structure feels unbalanced
 Characters don’t arc the way you imagined
 MCs lack in agency
 The worldbuilding is rich, but the plot feels thin
 Vaillain is cartoonish
 You worry your voice isn’t strong enough to stand out
This is where most writers stall. But with the right feedback and a clear roadmap forward, your story can transform into something memorable and marketable.

" The developmental edit was a game-changer. I was floundering in act 2, but I just couldn’t figure out a way to make it more engaging. Luca and the frameworks he uses helped me break through and finally finish.”
