Business Memoir Developmental Edit

My 43,500-word manuscript blends practical entrepreneurship lessons with personal memoir, and the core themes still need to shine through more vividly. I’m happy with the basic structure, so your developmental brief centers on sharpening theme clarity—showing me where the big ideas fade, repeat, or drift off message—and offering light, high-level observations on writing style rather than line-by-line fixes.

You’ll receive the full draft in Word. Please return:

• An annotated manuscript highlighting places where the entrepreneurial or personal threads weaken, contradict, or could be reinforced.
• A concise editorial letter (2–4 pages) summarizing overarching theme guidance and broad stylistic notes that will help me polish voice, tone, and narrative balance in the next revision.

No heavy copy-editing is needed; keep the focus on content resonance. If small structural tweaks would make a theme clearer, flag them, but deep restructuring isn’t part of this round.

Experience with business narratives, founder stories, or cross-genre memoirs is strongly preferred.
