Nonfiction and fiction manuscript developmental editing, as well as manuscript evaluations, focus on those elements unique to each form.
Fiction developmental editing and evaluations cover:
> plot and story line;
> structure and theme;
> conflict and tension;
> character development;
> continuity;
> point of view/voice;
> dialogue and pacing.
Nonfiction developmental editing and evaluations cover:
> relevant thesis;
> exposition;
> content;
> organization;
> tone and pace.
