Flashback restructuring
Plot analysis
Theme
Re-titling chapters, if needed

In addition, she will check for sagging scenes and holes in the development. The end result will be a well-organized work that will blend into one cohesive unit, holding all of your ideas and passions - but a lot of your words will change. Very few editors offer this type of editing because it is very time consuming.
This type of editing does more than polish. It makes your work shine with all the things you were trying to say – but not in the way you would say them. If you are attached to your words, this is not the kind of editing you want.
***Please Note: Deb does not
guarantee that you will be able to sell your work. No editor will
guarantee that because it depends on more than the content.
Sales hinge on the market, agent choice, timing,
persistence, and message of the manuscript.
