“Clear, honest and constructive.”
Jonathan Yardly · Author of The Ebbing TideI decided to have a developmental edit after receiving feedback that my main characters weren’t quite engaging the reader enough. Peter gave me some great advice on how to develop my main characters together with many other insightful structural improvements to my manuscript.
Peter’s feedback was both highly detailed, clear, honest and constructive. Much more so than previous vague editorial advice I have received which cost a lot more money. I really felt he engaged with my story evidenced by the level of detail set out in his report. This included not just an overall assessment but also character notes and a chapter by chapter analysis, detailing what works well and areas where each chapter could be strengthened. He also arranged for an online chat for an hour where we could discuss his findings.
I strongly recommend Peter to anyone considering having a developmental edit by someone who displays a genuine enthusiasm for what you are trying to achieve.
Thoughtful craft. Honest encouragement.
I’m the author of Walk With Me, When Grief Passes Love Remains and have supported writers across memoir, fiction and nonfiction for more than a decade. I know that a book needs both patient attention to the page and someone who can see the larger journey.
