Developmental Editing can often cost more than $8 per 1,000 words, which equates to $400 for a fifty thousand word book. That’s a lot of money!
Instead, I am happy to offer a Developmental Beta Reading service for only $3 per 1,000 words, which costs only $150 for fifty thousand words. (**Members of this board can receive a 20% discount, just let me know on the form you are a member)
As well as publishing myself, I am currently studying for my Master’s in Novel Writing (due to complete in October 2018 – all merits and distinctions so far), and possess a First Class Honours (UK) degree, having previously studied English and Creative Writing. I have critiqued and edited the work of my class mates on both course, as well as work of writing buddies for over 5 years. In the last few months, I have provided the beta reading service to six manuscripts ranging from seventy thousand to over a hundred thousand words long.
Testimonial:
“I first came to know Victoria DeLuis through her Magic Books Cross Promo group on Facebook. When I learned she was expanding her services to include developmental editing, I jumped at the chance. I quickly discovered her to be personable and professional and exactly what I needed. Victoria not only read through the sludge of drafts I sent her way, she pointed out obvious grammatical errors. Since she was mainly here for the story elements, the extra proof was much appreciated. Not only did she help me catch the right beats in each scene, she wrote up a detailed analysis of the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses. Authors are often the worst about critiquing our manuscripts because we are too close to the story. While beta readers and critique partners are also essential, I can’t recommend enough using a developmental editor like Victoria. Not only did she give me perspective on the story I thought I was telling but helped unlock the narrative’s full potential. I am officially a fan and plan to use her for future books.” ~ Jennifer Silverwood
