Developmental Edit by Karen Grove

A developmntal edit by Karen Grove (estimated value $2,000). Must be used within one year, up to 100K words. In order to get greatest value out of a developmental edit, it’s suggested that the author should do, at the very least, a heavy round of self-edits first. 

Karen has thirty-five years in publishing from St. Martin’s Press, then production for Hearst Magazines and Academic Press, and the children’s editorial department of Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in 1985. For the last thirty-four years, she has specialized in young adult fiction, collaborating with many fine writers and agents to make certain their manuscripts reach their highest potential—evident by the many awards and starred reviews garnered for their books.

Among the many award-winning writers Karen has worked with are young adult authors Han Nolan, Carol Plum-Ucci, Susan Beth Pfeffer, L.A. Meyer, Ann Rinaldi, Gary Paulsen, Alfred Martino, Mary Pearson, Nancy Garden, Elaine Marie Alphin, Adele Geras, Kathryn Reiss, and New Adult and Romance authors Jennifer L. Armentrout, Rebecca Yarros, A.J. Pine, Molly E. Lee, and Katie Delahanty.
