That’s a good question! The editorial impact assessment is not based on editorial practice but on specific methodologies from Heather’s professional background and specialist training.

It is designed to reduce the number of revisions needed after the first round of developmental editing. This improves the editing experience for the author, frees up some of your capacity as an editor, and can lead to a higher quality manuscript that is as future-proofed as possible.

Let’s be clear: this assessment is not meant to replace you as a developmental editor. It will complement your work by providing specialist support.

Due to our specialist knowlege, experience and academic research, fantasy fiction is the only genre we edit. However, we also appreciate that there may be crossovers, or a desire to use our services for other genres. Though we can’t promise anything, we are always happy to hear from you, so please do get in touch via the contact form on our website, or by emailing ivatteditorial@outlook.com.
