Let me ask you…
Do you have a draft that’s been sitting around for too long?
Are you worried you’re not publishing enough?
I’ve been right where you are!
I’ve had drafts languish.
I’ve felt stuck and I didn’t know how to move forward.

In almost every case, a different perspective is what I needed.
A developmental editor’s lens helps me design a revision plan and get the article out of draft mode and under review.
That’s what essential editing is!
I’m Kimberly.
