Developmental Editors

Have you ever worked with a developmental editor?

Do you know what one can do for your book?

Let's take a look––the benefits might surprise you!

You have co-labored with the Lord for decades, bringing forth His life unto those you disciple.

When it’s time to expand your reach beyond those you can work with one-on-one––you put your wisdom and experience into a book.

Only you and Holy Spirit (and perhaps a spouse or close friend) will ever know the blood, sweat and tears that you endured to know what you know.

 

A developmental editor is not you; nor will they ever be you. Never in a million years could they write the book that you can.

They do not possess the wisdom, knowledge or experience in the right combination to impart the power and authority that you will through your book.

 

But what a developmental editor can do is help tell your story in a way that others can better follow, grasp, understand and hence, activate the truths you impart.

A developmental editor will see the contents from 30,000 feet, and will enhance the reader experience as they dive into your book.

Can they follow the story? Is the main point consistent in each chapter? Does each paragraph lead in to the next, or are their gaps that would hinder a reader from following the point you are trying to make?

Is there a sentence that could flow a little more smoothly to enable the reader to more quickly grasp the gist of your message?

 

All suggestions from a developmental editor are yours to accept or deny. You have 100% control over your final manuscript contents.

 

Developmental editors are not critical; they simply ensuring that what you meant to say is actually what you said. This ensures that your book will be understood by your readers.

When this happens, word-of-mouth marketing begins.

The more people who thoroughly enjoy the ‘reader experience’, the better it is for your book sales.

The better your book sales, the more people you will influence.

The more people you influence, the more the Corporate Body of Christ will flourish on earth.

 

Would you like to have a conversation to see what a developmental editor can do for you?

Let’s set up a no obligation consultation.

As a trained and equipped ascension gift evangelist, I’m able to grasp the Kingdom truths in your book. It’s my pleasure to make suggestions on how your message can be understood to its fullest potential by all who will read your book.
