Developmental Editor

I'm Liberty BayBridge, a developmental editor. I help science fiction, fantasy, and romance writers strengthen their stories.

I bring pattern recognition and fresh perspective. I understand the challenges of building complex narratives that keep readers engaged.

Pricing

• Free 10,000-word review to see if we’re a good fit

• $0.02 per word for full manuscript editing (including the reviewed portion)

• Standard turnaround: 3-4 weeks for full-length manuscripts (70-120k words)

• Rush delivery available for additional fee

• Payment: 50% upfront, 50% upon completion

What's Included

    •    Comprehensive developmental edit with inline annotations (see example)
   •    Two video consultations: one to discuss the initial review, one for the complete edit
   •    Follow-up discussion to clarify any notes
   •    Guidance on strengthening story structure, character arcs, pacing, and emotional beats

What This Is (and Isn’t):

My role as a developmental editor is to stay focused on story structure, character development, pacing, and plot consistency.

I catch the stuff that pulls readers out: characters acting inconsistent, plot holes, scenes that don’t land emotionally, timelines that don’t track, and relationship dynamics that feel off.
I bring fresh eyes and pattern recognition - I’ll spot what’s missing, what’s confusing, and what’s working better than you think.

This is not copyediting or proofreading - I’m here to help strengthen your story’s foundation.
