Developmental Editing

Starting at $800 (based on 40,000 words)
($0.02 per word — quote varies by manuscript length)
 
Get two professional eyes on your manuscript—for the price of one.

When you book a developmental edit with Grim House Publishing, you’re not just hiring one editor—you’re getting a full critique team.
 
This service is powered by Killian Wolf & C.J. Piperata, the duo behind the Grim House YouTube channel.

We’re both experienced editors and authors who specialize in fantasy, romance, horror, and dark fiction. Together, we bring the kind of multi-editor feedback authors used to get in the golden age of traditional publishing, when books were built by teams.

What’s Included:
 
A detailed editorial letter covering story structure, pacing, character arcs, theme, and emotional payoff
 
Inline comments throughout your manuscript with questions, suggestions, and observations
 
Combined feedback from both editors—two sets of strengths, two creative minds
 
One follow-up Zoom call or email to discuss revisions and next steps

   📚 Best for: fantasy, romance, paranormal, dark fiction, horror, or anything emotionally intense and plot-rich

   📅 Turnaround: 3–4 weeks per manuscript
