Developmental editing
Structure, arc, pacing, and argument. Where chapters lose the reader and how to hold them.
Kate Craig Writes · Editing
Four author manuscripts edited. Every project starts with a conversation about what the book is for.
Structure, arc, pacing, and argument. Where chapters lose the reader and how to hold them.
Sentence-level work: grammar, consistency, clarity, and a style sheet you can keep.
The last read before it goes out. Typos, spacing, headers, and formatting drift.
A written critique of the whole draft — what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do first.
Your book, your name, my keyboard. Interview-driven drafting in your voice.
Standing appointments while you draft, for writers who finish faster with someone waiting.





Read as a first audience: reactions, confusions, and the places a reader puts the book down.
